Will Ospreay plans on being Two-Belts Billy following AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
Will Ospreay just recently won the AEW International Championship but he already has a deal to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title at the upcoming Forbidden Door show.
On the June 1 AEW Collision, Ospreay successfully retained the International Championship for the first time and a competitive match with Kyle O'Reilly. After the match, Billy GOAT had praise for O'Reilly and the promise that he would continue defending the title while looking to become a double champion at the pay-per-view.
"Proven track record, my friend. Every single place I've ever gone to and everywhere I've ever gone, I've challenged for the biggest belts, and I've won every single time. Kyle O'Reilly? My God what a professional wrestler. I remember in 2016, a young, immature William needed a friend's shoulder and he was there. He took me to a British pub in Japan and I've always held Kyle to the highest standards of highest respect.
"While I defend this beautiful International Championship, and bring more prestige and add more legacy to it, I am after the World Championship as well. There is nothing in the rulebook saying that I can't defend this championship and go for the World Championship as well. Two-Belts Billy, get the shirt ready, boys."
