Will Ospreay says that all Roderick Strong did was make him want the title more.
At AEW Double or Nothing, Will Ospreay is set to challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship. On the May 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay and Orange Cassidy faced Strong and Trent Beretta. Wardlow interfered and helped Strong score the win. After the bell, Strong and his Undisputed Kingdom stablemates attacked Ospreay. Strong hit Ospreay with the title and made him bleed.
In a digital exclusive, Will Ospreay sent a message to Roderick Strong.
"You think I look pretty bad right now, right? No, this is nothing. Mate, I’ve been on four-day bender, had a bowl of Cocoa Puffs, got on a plane to Japan, called out the toughest guy, and whooped him in front of his wife and kids while I was smiling, bruv. You think this is the end, Messiah? What, you think that this scares me? [Slaps himself] Nah, I live for this, bruv. I flew all the way from England on a ten-hour flight, got transferred over to Bakersfield, and this? This is the best that you’ve got? My Messiah, am I meant to believe in you, man? Am I meant to believe? No, man. The only thing that I believe in is bell-to-bell, internationally known, no one is better than me inside that ring, and now what you’ve just done, Roderick, what you’ve just done is it’s bonded me with that championship. My blood is on that championship. So now, it is my duty, it is my spirit that is bonded with that championship. So Sunday, in the perfect city to do it in, bet it all. Gamble your life on it, son. Because now, it is my life’s mission to take the International Championship away from you, come hell or high water. Nobody is better than Will Ospreay because I am on another level," Ospreay said.
