En entrevue pour The Ariel Helwani Show, Will Ospreay a affirmé que la WWE n’a jamais fait partie de ses objectifs de carrière.
La star de la AEW a mentionné que la WWE l’a déjà contacté, mais en vain.
“I’ve never been to WWE. Never been backstage. I’ve had a phone call, and that’s about it.”
Ospreay a confié qu’il était davantage un fan de la TNA que de la AEW. Il a d’ailleurs travaillé brièvement avec la TNA en 2024.
Son père était un fan de la ECW. La lutte japonaise l’a par la suite grandement inspiré.
“I feel like I got into it just as WCW and ECW were about to be bought out. My dad bought ECW tapes; I used to watch it, but I was, like, forbidden. ECW was sick. After that, [WWE] just wasn’t for me. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the presentation behind it. I still have those feelings now. I found TNA, and that was a style that spoke to me. The X-Division was huge for me. Then, finding Pro Wrestling NOAH, Dragon Gate, and New Japan were the things that inspired me and made me want to be a pro wrestler. WWE has never really driven me. When you first get into the industry and first start learning it, even in the schools, we had a guy that got signed to WWE in the schools, he never ended up going because of a heart condition, but they were always telling you, ‘WWE is the route,’ meanwhile, I’m in the background, like, ‘I’d love to wrestle in a six-sided ring and go over to Japan and learn strong style.’ I’ve just never been a WWE guy.”
