A storm is brewing in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as a fan’s innocent request to Tony Khan has sparked a fiery response from Platinum Max Caster, a rising star in the promotion. The braggadocious member of The Acclaimed has thrown shade at none other than Will Ospreay, a 7-time NJPW champion, and has seemingly issued a challenge to the Commonwealth Kingpin.
It all started when a fan reached out to Khan, asking for a match between Caster and Ospreay, two of the most talented wrestlers on the AEW roster. However, Caster took to social media to respond, making a bold claim that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community. The 9-year veteran dubbed himself the “Best Wrestler Alive” and referred to Ospreay as merely the “best Japanese wrestler.”
This apparent jab at Ospreay’s credentials has sparked controversy, with many wondering if Caster is indeed ready for a match against the undefeated Ospreay, who has won all nine of his matches since returning to AEW as a full-time talent earlier this year. Ospreay’s impressive streak includes a few first-time-ever bouts, cementing his reputation as one of the top stars in the promotion.
Caster, on the other hand, has been making waves on the indie circuit, working shows despite claiming to be suspended by AEW last month. His suspension announcement coincided with his in-ring return to the Indies, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to back up his tough talk against Ospreay.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for a response from Ospreay, AEW is gearing up for its sixth annual Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event, which will take place on May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Seven matches have already been confirmed for the marquee event, with more expected to be announced in the coming week.
Will Caster’s challenge to Ospreay materialize into a match at Double Or Nothing? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – this developing feud has added an extra layer of excitement to an already stacked event.
