Ospreay was on AEW Unrestricted last week.
Will Ospreay discussed his decision to sign with AEW in an appearance on AEW Unrestricted.
Ospreay said during the podcast that he received a phone call from WWE’s AJ Styles in the weeks leading up to his free agent. Styles is someone he has always regarded as a hero.
Ospreay said
AJ was on my phone when he tried to, I guess the correct word would be’sway me’ to make a decision about which company I should sign with. It’s flattering to me because AJ was my hero and everything I wanted become.
Ospreay often spoke about the impact AJ Styles had on him during his time in TNA Wrestling. He said that Styles had always kept an eye out for him.
Ospreay continues:
I feel that he has always been watching me. I feel that even now, I think that’s why the phone call was made, but he keeps an eye on my every now and then, but for me coming to AEW was the right decision. I knew I wanted to make a positive difference and be part of the change in culture.
Ospreay has wrestled Styles twice. Both times in 2015, before Styles left NJPW to join WWE in January 2016. Styles defeated Ospreay in RevPro High Stakes 2015. Eight months later, Styles beat Ospreay as well as Marty Scurll and Ospreay in a triple threat match at RevPro Uprising.
Ospreay will next face Roderick Strong for the International title at AEW Double or Nothing in this month. Styles will face Cody Rhodes at Backlash for the WWE Championship on Saturday.
