Top AEW star makes bold claim; says he's the greatest wrestler of the 21st century
AEW's roster is undoubtedly stacked full of some of the best wrestlers in the world. However, one All Elite talent is now making a daring declaration on just how great they are.
Will Ospreay signed with AEW a few months ago, but made his official return on this week's Dynamite as a contracted talent. After being welcomed by Tony Schiavone, the 30-year-old was interrupted by The Don Callis Family, a faction he has been affiliated with. Callis ordered a tense handshake between Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita to end the segment.
The Aerial Assassin took to Instagram today to post a promo video for Sunday's Revolution match against Takeshita. Ospreay captioned the vignette with a bold claim on his greatness.
"The Greatest Wrestler Of The 21st Century Bruv. 2 More Days | @aew | Ospreay Vs Takeshita | March 3rd. Clips from @markashleyfilms," he wrote.
Ospreay included a popular motivational mix as the theme song for his vignette. The song features the beat of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" single along with the viral "Firemen" speech given to boxer Timothy Bradley by his trainer Teddy Atlas in the middle of his WBO Championship win over Brandon Ross in 2015.
