Will Ospreay Weighs In On Execution of AEW WrestleDream Clockwork Carnage, Inspiration For Match

Will Ospreay was very happy with how the Clockwork Carnage match was executed in the main event of AEW WrestleDream. The first AEW iteration of the match took place at last night’s PPV, where Ospreay retained his title against seven other competitors. The field included Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Mike Bailey, Ricochet, Samoa Joe, and Darby Allin.

Ospreay weighed in on how the match came off in the AEW WrestleDream post-show. You can check out the highlights below:

On the Execution Of Clockwork Carnage:

“Oh, I thought it was brilliant. Like, every single moment about it is just like — I always feel like there should just be obstacles to overcome. It just shouldn’t be easy anymore. The moment that you take your foot off the gas break and stop trying to be creative, we might as well just say it’s stagnant. I always like to try and forward think.”

On His Inspirations For the Match:

“This isn’t something that like — I took a great inspiration from the Casino Gauntlet and Iron Man match, and kind of wanted to fuse it together. Seeing it come to play now with seven incredible pro wrestlers, ones that I could never imagine. Like seeing Cope and Okada do a sequence, do you realize how much that like screws my brain up sometimes? I was sitting there like, ‘This is a guy that was teaching me in New Japan, and this is a guy that I was watching when I was a child.’ And I was just like, ‘This is insane.’ And it just allows new opportunities for new characters to meet and intertwine with one another over such an important prize in pro wrestling.”
