Will Ospreay On Wrestling Drew McIntyre: If There Was Ever A Chance To Throw Down, I’d Happily Do It Again

Will Ospreay would love another battle with the Scottish Warrior.

Back in 2017, Will Ospreay and Drew McIntyre went toe-to-toe with each other where McIntyre (Then known as Drew Galloway) would pick up the win that night. During an interview with Inside The Ropes, Ospreay opened up about the match and had no doubts that he would want to run it back with him in today’s professional wrestling with how much both men have grown since then.

“I remember it super fondly. I have nothing but love for Drew and I hope he’s doing well. I haven’t kept in contact with him but I keep up with his work, and hope the same is mutual. If there was ever a chance to throw down I’d happily do it again. I think it was different as well because I had to work as a bad guy. That’s such a different thing for people because obviously when you see my aerial offence it is something that you can’t help but cheer. I had to pick those moments very well with those types of matches, and I had to really dictate the pace of that match so that when I did explode in my aerial offence, it was more out of desperation rather than to get a pop from the audience. It wasn’t difficult to put together because we’d wrestled each other beforehand, but I think it was more along the lines of we wanted to tell a bigger story within that building as well. So it was great, I flipping love wrestling with Drew and I’d happily do it any day of the week.”

Ospreay is the current AEW International Champion, he defended the title successfully against PAC at All Out, a week after winning the gold back from MJF. McIntyre is involved in a heated rivalry with CM Punk as both men prepare for a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood on Saturday, October 5.
