Will Ospreay Makes Explosive Full-Time Debut On AEW Dynamite

Will Ospreay has officially joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) full-time, marking a significant moment in the professional wrestling world. Following his final commitments with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Ospreay made his full-time debut on "AEW Dynamite" in a segment with Tony Schiavone.



While this marks the beginning of his full-time journey with AEW, Ospreay was quick to remind the audience that he's no stranger to the company. He previously triumphed over Orange Cassidy at Forbidden Door in 2022, followed by victories against Kenny Omega at the 2023 edition of the same event and Chris Jericho at All In.



Expressing his eagerness to continue his winning streak, Ospreay was interrupted by the Callis Family. Don Callis, Will Hobbs, and Konosuke Takeshita entered the ring, with Ospreay embracing Callis and Hobbs warmly. However, tensions arose with Takeshita, who Ospreay will be facing at the upcoming AEW Revolution event.



Callis, known for his manipulative tactics, played up the "family" dynamic while strategically pitting Takeshita and Ospreay against each other. He predicted a "match of the decade" at Revolution, emphasizing that regardless of the individual winner, the true victor would be the Callis Family as a unit. Despite the underlying tension, Ospreay and Takeshita displayed sportsmanship by shaking hands.

Will Ospreay's AEW Success Makes Some Feel WWE Missed Out On A 'Younger AJ Styles'

Will Ospreay's quick rise to great dominance in AEW has fueled speculation that WWE may have made a mistake by not signing him. ## Reports indicate WWE was interested in Ospreay, but some believe they lowballed him during contract negotiations, leading him to sign with AEW last November.

However, Meltzer suggests these individuals underestimated Ospreay's potential, particularly his charisma. ## "They [WWE] just thought he's a guy who can be like a real major player here," Meltzer said. "They just thought that he's a guy who can be like a real major player here." ## Meltzer further stated that, some people who are very high on him, were very upset that they didn't get to sign Ospreay. ## "I know people in that company who are very, very high on him, and that were very upset. I don't say very upset, but upset surely they didn't get him because they knew he was this good. And they just thought that he's a guy who can be like a real major player here." Meltzer stated. ## Meltzer's comments highlight the contrasting opinions on Ospreay. While some in WWE reportedly saw a future star, the alleged low contract offer suggests they may not have valued him as highly as others. ## Ospreay is set to face another major star, Bryan Danielson, at AEW's "Dynasty" event next month, solidifying his position as a top player in the company. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
