Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) are hungry ahead of the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament, and they want to give Will Ospreay the chance to slap Kenny Omega.
Fletcher, Davis, and Ospreay will take on Death Triangle in a first-round match on the August 24 episode of AEW Dynamite. With a win, they will advance to the next round, where they would face Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. The trio won their first-round bout against Dragon Lee, RUSH, and Andrade El Idolo on the August 17 episode of AEW Dynamite.
In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Fletcher was asked to describe his reaction to finding out that they would compete in the tournament and seeing Omega return to be part of it. He described how they're excited, and they're looking forward to a potential showdown with Omega and the Young Bucks.
“I think it was just, ‘Hell yeah, let’s absolutely get after it.’ I think we’ve always just been chasing championships all around the world, every chance we get. We wanna hold gold in every place that we go, so the fact that AEW were like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s do this, you’re in the tournament.’ We were like, oh hell yeah, we’re so ready for that opportunity. Then when the brackets showed up, even better. First we got Death Triangle, that’s gonna be an absolute killer match for sure. It just made us even more excited. Seeing Kenny come out, it’s just, we wanna get through to that second round even more now, now that they’re there. We know that Will’s gonna wanna get through to that second round even more now. So we’re just hungry, man," he said.
Likewise, Davis emphasized that he wants to face the Bucks, and he's determined to give Ospreay the chance to "slap" Omega. He stated that he's not looking past Death Triangle, and he's hungry for this elite competition.
“I mean I’m hungry to wrestle the Bucks. Always have been, but I’m even hungrier to get William the opportunity to slap Kenny. I’m gonna work as hard as I can. Honestly, that first round, there’s no way I’m going out. I’m gonna drag us through if we have to. I’m hungry for it, I can’t wait. Literally some of the best professional wrestlers that are going today. Death Triangle, PAC in the first round, I mean I’m not looking past them. It’s just an incredible field of talent, and I’m hungry, man. I’m so hungry, I can’t wait," Davis said.
The tournament will continue on the August 19 episode of AEW Rampage, where the TrustBusters will face Best Friends and Orange Cassidy. More information is available here.
