On Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Will Ospreay made a reference to Triple H’s comments during WrestleMania 40 week where the latter said he’s not interested in talent who want to work a lighter schedule and end up signing elsewhere due to that.
During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week, many fans took Triple H’s comments about talent not wanting to be “all in” as a shot at Will Ospreay. The WWE CCO said,
“If they are not here to be all in on this…when I see people coming out of trying to make it, and then they pick a job where, well, they work less, the schedule is lighter, then I’m like, ‘I’m glad I didn’t pick you.’ If you’re not in it for the grind, at that point early in your career, you have no business being here.”
Ospreay appeared on Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite and spoke to Renee Paquette about the “rumor” that he’s afraid of the grind. He said,
“I’ll be honest, I have no idea where this conversation has come from. I’m one of the only guys that is traveling every week from the UK to America, eight to ten hour flights, every single week, and I’m delivering some of the best professional wrestling matches this world has ever seen.”
He continued, “Normally I wouldn’t rise to this type of bait, but seeing as the guy that said it is only in the position he’s in because he was grinding on the bosses daughter, you are in no position to tell me what the grind is all about my friend because you have no idea what I fight for. Let this be a painful jab back and a gentle reminder that you do not throw stones at an assassin with a machine gun.”
Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Danielson will be taking place at next weekend’s AEW Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view event.
Will Ospreay’s match with Bryan Danielson at #AEWDynasty is a little over a week away. What’s on the billy goat’s mind?
