Will Ospreay On Joining the Death Riders, Is Willing to Use Tiger Driver ’91 On Kenny Omega

Will Ospreay has developed his killer instinct via the Death Riders, and that extends to potentially using his Tiger Driver ’91 on Kenny Omega. The AEW star is set to battle Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship at All In. He will do so as a member of the Death Riders, who have helped him hone his ability to do what needs to be done for victory.

Ospreay spoke with Soundsphere Magazine and talked about his famed finisher, which he has leaned back from in recent years. You can see the highlights below:

On Being Part of the Death Riders:

“The moment that bell rings, it’s life or death. My life got taken away from me when my neck got snapped. It’s a painful lesson to be able to put that to one side and accept help in becoming more vicious, [and] in becoming the guy that I need to be to become a world champion. It’s about having faith and confidence in myself. I didn’t have that, and being honest with you, being a part of the Death Riders gives me a lot of confidence.”

On Being Willing To Use His Tiger Driver ‘91:

“I’d hit it on Kenny before, but our relationship back then was very volatile. I thought instead of being the next Kenny, I’ll just be the first me. And I put my flag in the ground: This is the style that I want to do, this is how I want to be presented. I would say there was a part of him that was jealous of me at that time, because maybe he wasn’t happy with himself. And there was a part of me that was so braggadocious that I genuinely thought, at that point, I was the best thing in the world.

“The first time we ever wrestled one another, he merked me. I’ve never felt more embarrassed in my life, and it kind of fuelled this anger, and this emotion that came out of me. I just wanted revenge, and it didn’t matter if it was my hero or not… There’s a friendship and a love there, but when it comes to pulling the trigger, I’ll do the right thing when it comes to it.”
