Will Ospreay's butt hurt coming out of AEW Revolution.
At AEW Revolution, Will Ospreay faced Konosuke Takeshita in his first match as a contracted member of the AEW roster. Ospreay scored the win, but a scary moment occurred earlier in the bout when Takeshita hit him with a brainbuster on the ropes. Ospreay seemingly landed back-first, and the welt was immediately apparent on his back.

During the AEW Revolution post-show press conference, Will Ospreay was asked about how he was doing after the spot.
"My ass is so bad. Can I show a little bit of it? I’m not gonna show you my cheek. [Shows his back/backside, which is clearly bruised] That sucked so much," Ospreay said.
Tony Khan subsequently noted that Ospreay was questionable for his match against Kyle Fletcher on the March 6 episode of AEW Dynamite. Ospreay made it clear that he wanted to compete. Later in the scrum, Ospreay continued to discuss his win against Takeshita, and he called the Brainbuster spot the most painful thing he had ever felt.
“That moment he brain-bustered my ass on the rope, dude, that was the most painful thing I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I wanted to cry [laughs]. There’s a lump, dude. But Takeshita’s the best," Ospreay said.
