In this interview Will Ospreay talks about his goals after signing with AEW: “When I came into AEW, there was a lot of negative press surrounding it and the backstage environment. I wanted to be one of the pieces of the puzzle that pulled all of us together. That comes from all the work I did in New Japan. New Japan was such a team effort. There were things you wouldn’t like about it, but at the end of the day, we all had to pull in the same direction because if we didn’t, we were going to stagnate, slow down, and things were going to happen that would deter people from watching us. It’s all about being a team, and that was my main thing when I came into AEW – trying to bring the team together.”
