Matt Hardy, a veteran wrestler, has gone on record to predict a phenomenal year for two of the hottest properties in professional wrestling – WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and AEW’s Will Ospreay. Both Priest and Ospreay have already had an incredible year, with Priest achieving the pinnacle of his career at WrestleMania XL when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
Ospreay, on the other hand, has been making waves in AEW, recently delivering an incredible match with former world champion Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty.
Hardy made his predictions during a recent edition of the Matt Hardy Brand podcast, where a fan asked him which wrestlers will have a breakthrough year in 2024. Without hesitation, Hardy championed Priest and Ospreay as the ones to watch this year. His endorsement of these two talented wrestlers is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft.
Priest, a member of The Judgment Day, is gearing up to defend his title against Main Event Jey Uso at Backlash France this weekend. Meanwhile, Ospreay is on a roll, having earned the number one contender’s spot for the AEW International Title by defeating a strong field of contenders in a Gauntlet Match on the April 24, 2024, edition of Dynamite. He will face reigning champion Roderick Strong at Double or Nothing on May 26, 2024.
Hardy’s prediction is not unfounded, given the impressive displays put on by both Priest and Ospreay in recent months. Ospreay, in particular, has been making a name for himself in AEW, with his high-flying moves and thrilling matches.
His recent victory over Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty has cemented his status as one of the hottest commodities in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Hardy also had praise for Mariah May, a 25-year-old wrestler who has been making waves in AEW as part of Toni Storm’s stable. May has already caught the attention of fans with her formidable mic skills, and Hardy predicts big things for her this year.
Only time will tell if Hardy’s predictions come to fruition, but one thing is certain – Damian Priest, Will Ospreay, and Mariah May are names to watch in professional wrestling. With their talent, dedication, and hard work, the sky is the limit for these three wrestlers.
