Paul Wight Believes He And Kenny Omega Could Have Torn The House Down, Will Ospreay Praises AEW

AEW is set to celebrate its six-year anniversary tomorrow night with the Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. Since joining AEW full-time in 2024, Will Ospreay has rapidly risen to become one of the company’s top stars. He’s set to headline the event, facing Hangman Page in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament.

During an appearance on “JJRBTS,” Ospreay commented on his decision to sign with AEW and expressed his strong belief in the company’s vision and direction. He said,

“I like the counter-culture stuff. I don’t like going for the big thing. I like going for the underdog. I think that’s why I signed with AEW in the first place is because they are the underdog, they are the people coming from the ground up and are the people who enjoy giving fan service. When I first came in here, I wanted to make this place the be all, end all. I want to sing from the high heavens that this is the best professional wrestling on the planet. I respect WWE and what they’re doing now. They are filling houses and doing so well, but bell-to-bell, you’re not going to find better wrestling than AEW.”

He continued, “It’s respect for the art. I feel like they understand the art form behind it and how hard it is, and they appreciate it, so they allow their voices to be heard, and they are supporting us. I want that support to spread. It’s going to take time and be a slow process, but one of these days, we’re going to be on top. It’s not just me, it’s Swerve (Strickland), it’s Hangman (Page), it’s (Jon) Moxley, it’s MJF, it’s the Hurt Syndicate, we’re all firing on all cylinders and we’re all creating this animal right now and at one point, we’re going to be undeniable that we are the friggin’ best.”

Throughout his career, Paul “The Big Show” Wight has shared the ring with some of the biggest icons in wrestling history.

During a recent interview with Bill Apter on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge” podcast, Wight shared that he would have loved the chance to wrestle Kenny Omega during his own prime years. He said,

“In my prime? Kenny Omega. Just because I like what Kenny does with people when Kenny has the right opponent, especially if me as a heel and Kenny as a babyface, I think at a certain point in time, we could have literally torn the freaking roof off. Kenny has that drive, he has that fight, and he has several gears. We talk in wrestling a lot of times about shifting gears in a match, showing desperation, showing drama through your work, not through your mouth, and that’s one thing that Kenny always brings to the table, is that energy and that fight to win. For me, as a heel, a lot of times I love fighting people because it makes my job easier.”
