Michael Oku says facing MJF will get more eyes on RevPro.
AEW American Champion MJF appeared in a video message at RevPro Live in Coventry and challenged Michael Oku to a match at RevPro Summer Sizzler after he repeatedly insulted the Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion. RevPro then officially announced the match.
Speaking with Cultaholic Wrestling, Michael Oku discussed his upcoming match against MJF.
"It's a very, very wild time in professional wrestling. Everybody says that. I've been hearing people say that away from me. Now it's come to me. I'm now part of the example of how wild wrestling is in 2024. Obviously, this is this is a huge, huge thing for me. I'm challenging for the title, but what's cool about this is the fact that it gets more eyes onto Rev Pro. There are a lot of people who will now be tuning in to see who I am, then in turn the rest of the Rev Pro roster and rest of the matches," Oku said.
Oku then noted that MJF had talked plenty of trash, but it was important to note that the former AEW World Champion challenged him in the first place. Oku went on to share his belief that he would shock the world when he faced MJF.
"What's funny is that no matter what he says and he has said a lot, he said a lot in his promo and he does the whole thing of being confident and insulting the country, insulting me by calling me scrawny. What he can't change is that factually, he challenged me. I didn't put in some application form or try message people like Tony Khan or Chris Jericho. I was just here putting full focus into the Copper Box. He said, 'I want to wrestle Michael Oku', so no matter what he says in terms of insults, he can't change that fact... I am sure I am going to shock the world once again," Oku said.
The full interview will be available on Cultaholic Wrestling's podcast feed on August 1st.
