AJ Styles, the WWE superstar, has recently revealed that he had reached out to top wrestler Will Ospreay in an attempt to recruit him to WWE before he signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This shocking revelation has sent ripples through the wrestling world, giving fans a look into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the sport.
In an interview with Irish Wrestling and Entertainment, Styles confessed that he would have loved to see Ospreay join WWE, citing him as one of the best wrestlers in the world today.
Ospreay, known for his aerial stunts and athleticism, has quickly become a fan favorite in AEW, having recently defeated Bryan Danielson at Dynasty Pay-Per-View.
The news comes as no surprise, given Ospreay’s impressive skills and potential to become a massive star in the wrestling world. In fact, many believe it’s only a matter of time before he wins the AEW World Title.
Ospreay had previously revealed that he received a call from Styles while he was deciding between WWE and AEW, and had ultimately chosen to sign with Tony Khan’s promotion.
In the same interview, Styles also expressed his joy at seeing his friend Tama Tonga, a former New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) colleague of Ospreay, join WWE.
Tonga, a member of The Bloodline, is a welcome addition to the WWE roster, and Styles believes he deserves to be in the Stamford-based promotion.
As fans eagerly await Styles’ upcoming match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Backlash France, this news has added an extra layer of intrigue to the wrestling world. Will we see more top stars making the switch between WWE and AEW in the future? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the world of professional wrestling has never been more exciting.
