Top AEW star “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay appeared on the Battleground podcast, where he discussed a number of topics, including how WWE tried to top his Steel Cage Match with Kyle Fletcher at Revolution the very next night with CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and failed.
Ospreay said, “I can’t think of another cage match off the top of my head that’s like done the stunts, the storytelling, the drama. People tried to top it the next day and they couldn’t. So I could not believe the output and the support we got afterwards and just how people thought it was one of the greatest steel cage matches ever.”
On feeling like a proper pro wrestler:
“I was super out of my depth with that one. I won’t lie to you guys at all. It was crazy to be a part of that, and I felt like a proper pro wrestler out there. I know it’s the Crypto.com Arena now, but that’s the Staple Center, man. I felt like a pro wrestler out there. Kyle Fletcher even elevated himself to new heights. It was a crazy match to be a part of.”
