Will Ospreay has fired back at WWE CCO Paul "Triple H" Levesque for insinuating that Ospreay is "not in it for the grind."

Ospreay used his promo time on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite show to respond to a thinly-veiled jab from Triple H that seemed to be directed at Ospreay in a Pat McAfee show appearance last Friday. 

In discussing not landing an unnamed free agent, Triple H said: 

"When I see people that come out of trying to make it and then they pick the job where they go, "Well, they work less, the schedule is lighter...alright, then I'm glad I didn't get you because if you're not in it for the grind at that point early in your your career, you have no business being here."

In Ospreay's response, he noted that he is delivering in the ring, and posited a theory as to how Triple H rose to the position of chief content officer of WWE: 

"I am delivering some of the best professional wrestling matches this world has ever seen, bruv. 

Normally I wouldn't rise to this type of bait. But seeing as the guy who said it is only in the position he is in because he was grinding on the boss's daughter, you are in no position to tell me what the grind is all about, my friend, because you have no idea what I fight for. 

So let this be a painful little jab back and a gentle reminder, that you do not throw stones at an assassin with a machine gun."

Ospreay then went on to hype his pay-per-view match with Bryan Danielson set for Dynasty on Sunday, April 21.
