Ospreay subsequently commented on the news in a tweet. He noted that Moloney was "fired" from NXT UK in 2019. He highlighted Moloney's work ethic and the way he has has grinded in the UK wrestling scene. Ospreay ended the message by writing "be scared."

The work ethic he put in after, throughout the pandemic, when the crowd returned & now is a real testament to the man he is.
Never took shortcuts, he showed up and grafted in a scene pronounced DOA.
