The skill of Will Ospreay's ring skills are simply undeniable, and he is proud to be one of the best professional fighters in the world. In fact, he said he could overcome the majority of WWE's roster even on his worst day.
In an interview with Daily StarWill Ospreay said he does not enjoy WWE, neither as a fan or as a fighter. He has not seen Wrestlemania 41, but heard it was not great, except for the fight that involved Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, whom he considers some of the best in the world.
Ospreay explained that he was never really fanatic of WWE. Although it respects the company and the fighters who handle its demanding calendar, it simply does not like the style of the program, its presentation or the general sensation, although it admits that some improvements have been made, such as the camera work in one shot.
“Still, not only as a spectator but also as a fighter, I simply enjoy it. I have not seen Wrestlemania, but for what I have heard, it was not the best; maybe Iyo, Rhea and Bianca had the only really incredible fight. Those three are incredible, three of the best, point.
But for me, I was never a type of wwe. I respect him, and respect for the people who do it; The calendar is crazy, and applaud them for that. I just don't like the program. I do not like the style of struggle or the presentation. It has improved, I love the use of unique shots they have been doing, but I have never been a big fan. ”
Ospreay added that he respects and admires everyone in WWE, but has always felt some rivalry. Although WWE has the largest crowds and the best contracts, he believes that AEW's fighters are better once the bell rings. He said that even on his worst day, he feels he can overcome most WWE's talents.
Will Ospreay points out that it is better than other WWE talents
The Aerial Assassin said WWE has great talents in promos such as CM Punk and Roman Reigns, and admitted that there are things you still need to improve. However, he definitely believes that Talent in AEW's ring is unmatched compared to WWE's roster.
“Of course, I respect WWE and admire everyone there, but for me, there has always been a bit of rivalry where I think, 'Yes, they are the greatest. They attract the greatest crowds. They have the best contracts. But at the time the bell sounds, I think we are better than all of them. Honestly, in my worst day, I think that I am better than many of their children, both in the ring and in the microphone.
As for promos, they have some greats. Punk is great. Reigns is great. There are still things that I need to catch up. But in the ring, I don't think anyone on that side compares with our boys. ”
Will Ospreay is one of the most exciting and popular fighters today for many reasons, and simply feels that the product in AEW's ring is better than WWE's, and fans will have to respect their opinion in the end. According to Publications in X, AEW fans widely support Ospreay's claims, highlighting their work in fighting against fighters such as Kyle Fletcher and Takeshita, while some WWE fans criticize him for underestimating his roster. Wrestling Observer Newsletter points out that Ospreay, who renewed with AEW in 2024, is scheduled to face MJF in AEW All out in September 2025, which reinforces his position as the company's pillar. Although his opinion on WWE has generated debate, his confidence in AEW's style underlines the current rivalry between both promotions, with Io Sky, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair being notable exceptions in their criticism.
