Aerial Assassin for a reason, mate. I strike from places most can’t even dream of reaching. By the time you look up, it’s already too late. ⤷ @WillOspreay fan.
You wanna find out how dangerous Will Ospreay is when you push him too far?
I’ll show you.
Because when that bell rings, mate… you’re not fighting the bloke chasing the World Championship. You’re fighting the bloke who’s got nothing left to prove and everything left to take.
But then Mark decided he wanted to make a statement.
Mate… what happened after that? That wasn’t wrestling. That was personal.
You wanna jump me from behind? You wanna put me through the mat? You wanna surround me and think numbers are gonna scare me? All bets are off, bruv.
#AEWCollision was a proper scrap, wasn’t it, bruv?
Daniel Garcia… mate, I know exactly what you’re capable of. I’ve been in the ring with you before. I know the speed, the aggression, the heart you’ve got.
But that’s the difference, innit?
When things get tough… that’s when I wake up.
That’s when the Billy Goat starts climbing.
One opening.
One mistake.
One Hidden Blade.
And that’s it.
One, two, three.
We obviously have more than a few things to work out within the family, but come Redemption, one of those things will stay the same.
I will still continue being the greatest international champion of all time.
At Wembley, there ain’t gonna be any Death Riders.
No excuses.
No mind games.
No “what ifs.”
Just the best versus the best.
And when I pull the trigger… I’m not doing it out of anger. I’m doing it because I’ve earned the right to call myself World Champion.
#AEWDynamite
But I stayed.
I wanted to know if there was anything left of the man I’ve looked up to for years then he told me I’d always be a step behind.
Nah, I’ve spent my entire career being told I’m one step behind somebody.
AJ.
Okada.
You.
And every single time, I’ve closed the gap.
Last night… I think a lot of people finally understood where my head’s at, bruv.
I handed the Riders that patch back. No speeches. No drama. Just… done.
I gave it everything I had, but somewhere along the way, I stopped recognising the bloke looking back at me in the mirror.
Then @HailToSephiroth comes out later in the night.
Starts talking about friendship.
Starts talking about caring.
Then slaps me across the face.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Mate… if that’s your way of showing you care, you’ve got a funny way of going about it.
I’d rather lose being Will Ospreay than win pretending to be somebody else.
And if standing by what I believe in means I’ve got the Death Riders on one side and the World Champion on the other…
Then bring ’em both on.
Because I ain’t backing down from anybody, bruv.
I’ve been thinking about #AEWRedemption ever since I got on the plane home, bruv… and I’ll be honest with ya… it’s still stickin’ with me and it still hurts.
It hurts because we lost.
And it hurts because people are already telling me I made the wrong choice.
And then… Kenny planted me with a One-Winged Angel.
Can’t say I enjoyed that, mate.
Maybe he thought I hesitated too long.
Maybe he doesn’t trust me.
Maybe I gave him a reason not to.
Fine.
We’ll sort that out soon enough.
But let me make one thing crystal clear.
