"The Aerial Assassin" is ready to ascend to the top of another pro wrestling promotion.
Ahead of his full-time debut as a contracted AEW star this year, Will Ospreay spoke with Gamespot for an interview, during which he looked ahead to having his work cut out for him now that he is officially "#AllElite."
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview, which also included him confirming that he received offers from WWE prior to ultimately deciding to put pen-to-paper on a contract with All Elite Wrestling.
On Tony Khan being the perfect boss: "I want to know what I’m doing within the ring, and the rest, for me, is easy. What more could you want from a boss?"
On the challenges that present him in AEW and how he will work his hardest to rise to the top of the promotion: "There’s something for me to climb, there’s something for me to build upon. That first match with Chris Jericho, who is one of the biggest wrestling stars in the world, was probably the biggest star in the company at that time. I want to progress from that. I want to see what other bucket [list items] I can tick. I want to go for championships. I want to go for world titles. I want to see what I can actually do because I’ve never been put in these situations. New Japan is a sports-based wrestling product, it isn’t really known for its on-screen personalities. So this is all new for me and I just want to test myself. I want to try my very best to swim in waters I’m not very sure of, so for me, this is all a challenge."
