Will Ospreay Comments on a Potential Move to WWE

Ring of Honor superstar Will Ospreay recently sat down with ESPN to discuss a number of topics. His recent appearance at the “War of the Worlds” pay-per-view, the recent Randy Orton Twitter rant and moving to WWE were some of the topics discussed.

The match of the night featured Ospreay taking on Jay White, which was full of incredible athletic maneuvers and crazy spots. The crowd leapt to their feet at the conclusion of the match and gave both performers a standing ovation.

“It was incredible,” Ospreay told ESPN.com. “Before we made our entrance I could hear the crowd cheering my name. I’m still new to America. It’s really humbling that people believe in what I do. There’s always a couple haters, but at the end of the day, who cares. I’m entertaining the people that wanna be entertained. I feel like at the end of that match, I turned a lot of those guys into fans.”

It had been previously reported that Randy Orton had posted a rant about the state of Independent Wrestling recently.  Ospreay immediately responded by posting the following tweet:

Yeah…….but I'm having fun & making money so I'm happy………dive https://t.co/0qYe9KajTv

“I thought it was really funny. I do agree a bit, quite a lot of it. I do feel like wrestling has become very similar [in style], but just listen to that crowd from New York. It is that format, and everyone was going insane. I don’t know what to say but … dive.”

It’s no secret that Ospreay is one of the most popular non-WWE talents in the world; would he ever consider making his jump to the global juggernaut?

“I am contracted. At the end of it, I’m with Ring of Honor, I’m with New Japan. I’ve got no choice,” Ospreay said. “They say jump, I saw how high? Would I like to change? Absolutely, but I need to able to show them I’m worth something now, and this is how I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna spend two years with Ring of Honor under contract, and then I’m gonna say, ‘Hey, I’m gonna do what I want to do.’

“I want to be able to offer them something by going around and performing, not just at Ring of Honor, not just at New Japan, but the world. Does that mean I want to go to WWE? Not right now, no, ’cause it’s not what I want. I just want to be me and I want to be happy. My happiness comes way before priorities.”

They also discuss his favorite wrestlers, who he would like to compete against, and more.
