MJF doesn't plan on wrestling Will Ospreay again.
On the July 17 edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF captured the AEW International Championship from Will Ospreay, defeating him just seconds before the sixty minute time limit expired. This was Ospreay's first ever singles loss on AEW TV -- and only his second singles loss in company history.
During a new interview with The Wrestling Classic, MJF said that there is no reality that he will face Ospreay again.
“Why would I wrestle a guy I beat so handily? I literally beat him in record time. I mean, yeah, if somebody tries to pitch that to me, there’s no reality that match is happening again. I beat him, I now have this title. I’m gonna make this title mean more than any title that exists in all of professional wrestling."
MJF went on to criticize Ospreay's style of performing, stating that he wrestles to impress the audience. MJF also noted that his match against Ospreay was probably the easiest match of his entire life.
“I keep trying to warn Will, probably because he’s foreign and stupid and from the worst country that’s ever existed, the United Kingdom, but yeah, Will’s falling in the same trap I fell into. He’s wrestling to impress, he’s not wrestling to win, and I’ll never wrestle like that ever again. The way I wrestle now is very defense-based. I’m looking for reversals. I’m looking to cut corners. I’m not looking for the hard way. I’m looking for the easy way out. I don’t give a fuck. I’ll say that proudly with a smile on my face. I have that killer instinct. That’s something that Will Ospreay lacks, and that’s why he lost against me, and I dominated him. People are saying it was the most dominating victory of all time. I didn’t even sweat. It was the easiest match probably of my entire life."
