Will Ospreay Opens Up About Competing at AEW Dynasty & Upcoming Owen Hart Cup

Will Ospreay reflects on his performance at AEW Dynasty and shares his thoughts on the upcoming Owen Hart Cup.

The Aerial Assassin had his first pay-per-view match since last summer’s Forbidden Door event at Dynasty earlier this month. He battled Jon Moxley for the AEW Continental Championship, and despite his best efforts, the former International Champion came up short.

During a recent conversation with Adam Barnard of The Sportster, Ospreay admitted that he was nervous heading into his first PPV match since his neck surgery. Ospreay said he wanted to assure people that he is still one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he felt he proved it with his performance.

Regarding his strategy in the upcoming Owen Hart Cup, Will Ospreay said that he isn’t sure whether he’d be in contention for the annual tournament this summer, noting he first needs to stack up big wins.

Below are the highlights:

On whether he was nervous heading into his match with Jon Moxley at AEW Dynasty

“For sure, man. Like, I mean, I’d set such a high volume of, like, pay-per-view standard and pay-per-view quality matches before I got hurt. I wanted to come back and still be able to reassure people that pay-per-view Billy Goat is still one of the best wrestlers in the world, and undeniably, like, I feel like I proved it once again. It’s super scary because it still doesn’t feel like my head. I’m still getting used to this new neck that I’ve got now. So it’s a test, but so far I feel like I’ve been able to do all the old things that I did beforehand.”

On the upcoming Owen Hart Cup

“I’m hoping that I qualify anyway, but I’ve had… four matches, I think, so far, and like, I’ve barely escaped with the wins, quite a lot of them. So I don’t know if I’ll be in contention. Hopefully, the fact that I was a finalist last year is enough to put me in there. But I need to start racking up some big wins because I know, I know, like the toll it’s taking on my body, and I’m not meeting the mark and like, not, like, getting the big wins I need to get. So hopefully this match with [Mark] Davis will change this Wednesday.”
