Will Ospreay Reveals Most Surprising Thing About AEW So Far

Will Ospreay is shocked about his move to AEW.

The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion started full-time with the company at AEW Revolution last month. Incredible matches with Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher and Bryan Danielson soon followed, and his matches have been must-see so far.

Will Ospreay recently spoke with Paste Magazine, and was asked about what he found surprising since moving to AEW. He noted how the style of wrestling is a lot quicker. He has had to adapt his wrestling to fit the company, and quickly.

The English grappler also noted the fans have made him feel at home in the company.

“[Wrestling] is a lot quicker here. I must say with Japan, I was always afforded to explode and take time, where I believe a lot of these guys are all like freak athletes. So they’re able to keep the ball continuously moving,” Ospreay explained. “Which is challenging, because like, it’s just me adapting but like, my style, and the way that I do wrestle, is very adaptive. Like I’m very good at being able to pivot to anyone else’s style, especially in listening to my team. They’re always there, always good with seeing how a guy wrestles and then breaking it down so I can transition my style to fit, how I can win the matches.

“And coming over to America man, like I mean, I’ve said it for ages, man, Japan was my home for so many years and leaving that took so much of me to cut it off. There was a part of me that I needed to cut off in order to grow. Didn’t mean I wanted to do it. But like for me coming over here now, AEW has made me feel right at home. The fans have made me feel right at home.”
