Will Ospreay says AEW Dynasty can’t come soon enough.
On the March 27 episode of AEW Dynamite, Will Ospreay defeated Katsuyori Shibata in a hard-fought match. This came after Bryan Danielson, Ospreay’s opponent at AEW Dynasty, beat Shibata on the March 16 episode of AEW Collision.
In a digital exclusive, Will Ospreay was asked whether he felt like his win helped him gain momentum ahead of his clash with Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty.
“Mate, course. The beauty of this is, myself and Bryan look at Shibata as the measuring stick of what professional wrestling is. Now, if you watch what Bryan Danielson did when he faced Shibata, I remember it, guy got a quick flash victory. Want to know the difference with my victory? I took all that punishment. No one’s got the endurance like I got that endurance. How did I beat him today? Then how did I beat him today? Storm-driver, Hidden Blade, one, two, three. It wasn’t flash, anything about it, it wasn’t a fluke victory. It was just me being the better wrestler. Shibata is the measuring stick for what professional wrestling is, and no one does it just like he does it. But tonight, I was the better man. Look at me, mate. Torn apart. I’m all red all over. I probably got some bruises up there. I’m still ready. I’m still ready to go round-for-round with one of the best around, Bryan Danielson. Twenty-first of April can’t come soon enough. See you then, sunshine. Hope you’re feeling fit,” Ospreay said.
