AEW star Will Ospreay appeared on an episode of the Swerve City podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including feeling sick from exhaustion or anxiety during his recent matches.
Ospreay said, “I’ve been feeling sick and I don’t know whether it’s like anxiety or maybe it’s just the exhaustion from traveling back and forth so much, man. But that’s a real thing, every single week I get on a flight from London, Heathrow [Airport] and I go to whatever state that I’m required to go to in America. But, like, I’ve been feeling sick, man, like in all of my matches, like even the one against Cesaro, at one point I generally thought I was going to throw up in the ring.”
On feeling like he belonged in AEW for the first time when he faced Bryan Danielson:
“I was so worried, I kept saying to myself, ‘Man, like, don’t be sick, like don’t, like got to be in control of all of this.’ The moment that bell rung, it was just … there was nothing, man. There was nothing like blocking me, there was nothing making me feel like I don’t belong here. Like even when I [had] done the Kenny match and the Jericho match, I still feel like I was punching up. For the first time, like, I generally felt like I was meant to be a part of this.”
