At NJPW’s Sakura Genesis event over the weekend, Will Ospreay defeated Kota Ibushi to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. During a post-show press conference, Ospreay stated that he would like to wrestle against both CM Punk and WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. Ospreay said the following about CM Punk…
”Before I was the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, a man who sparked a whole industry of getting the wrestling world interested in, named CM Punk, was interested in facing Will Ospreay. Well now I have the biggest prize in pro wrestling, so if you really are wanting to prove to yourself that you’re the best in the world, come over to here [pointing at the title] and come and take this.” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
