One question that was asked of Ospreay was does he have any aspirations to chase the IWGP Heavyweight Championship which is currently held by the leader of the 'CHAOS' faction that Ospreay is a part of, Kazuchika Okada. Ospreay noted that he loves the junior heavyweight division but does have a goal to one day main event Wrestle Kingdom which is a spot on the card that is reserved for the heavyweight competitors of the company.

A Twitter user then added that he guesses Marty Scurll was right when referring to Marty saying he was going to be the individual to change the landscape of the junior heavyweight division and Will Ospreay had the following to say about his long-time rival:
