Will Ospreay Says Facing Samoa Joe Finished a Trifecta For Him

Will Ospreay is feeling great after his AEW Double or Nothing win, reflecting on what beating Samoa Joe meant to him. Ospreay defeated Joe at Sunday night’s PPV to advance in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The match puts Ospreay a step closer to competing for the World Title at AEW All In.

Ospreay reflected on the match during the AEW Double Or Nothing media scrum and talked about how important Joe’s match with AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in TNA was to him. You can see the highlights below:

On His Victory:

“Over the moon to be advancing and taking one step closer to maybe fulfilling such a dream of mine to main event Wembley Stadium in my home country.”

On Facing Joe:

“It blows my mind that I was lucky enough… being in there with Samoa Joe. I’ve said this so many times; the match that AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoe Joe [had] made me want to be a pro wrestler. I can’t tell you guys enough, right? I am stupid, like proper stupid. I didn’t know what I was gonna do in my life, genuinely. And I watched this match take place, and I was just like, ‘That is exactly what I want to do.’

“And I wrestled AJ; I wrestled Daniels. This was the last piece of that puzzle, the trifecta. So to get in the ring with Joe and earn his respect in the end, this is incredible. Like, I’m having the best time.”
