Will Ospreay says he's 'done with mentioning anyone' in WWE, wants to focus on AEW

Will Ospreay is done talking about Paul "Triple H" Levesque or anyone in WWE. 

Levesque made comments on The Pat McAfee Show before WrestleMania that many took to be a shot at Ospreay signing with AEW over WWE. 

"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’s lighter. Alright, then I’m glad I didn’t get you. If you’re not in it for the grind, at that point early in your career, you have no business being here,” Levesque said on the show. 

Ospreay seemingly responded to Levesque's comments in a promo on the April 10 AEW Dynamite, saying that Levesque is only in his position due to "grinding on the boss's daughter." 

At the AEW Dynasty post-even media event, Ospreay said he's done "mentioning anyone over there now" in response to his comments about Levesque.  

Ospreay said: 

I don't want to address it anymore. I come from a generation when like, the way I (grew) up, if you throw a jab I throw one back. And although I wasn't mentioned by name, it was clearly about me. So, all due respect, I'm kind of done with mentioning anyone over there now. I don't want to do that anymore because I feel like I lowered myself to that standard. I don't need to do that anymore, like, look what I just did in the ring with Bryan and that's only match two from pay-per-views, do you know what I mean? I've got a f--- load more to go now. 

With all due respect, if you take everything into consideration, of course, I'm annoyed about the jab that I took. I threw one back, I don't think it was anything bad. It was a joke from like 20 years ago for f---'s sake.

I'll be honest with you, that's the first time I've ever experienced true tribalism between the two. It's not nice, it's unncessary. I'm over it, I can't be bothered with it, I just want to focus on promoting AEW.

I don't regret what I said, I'm saying that now because once again  you take the entire siutation into consideration, it pissed me off but from this day on, I won't go down that route, I don't need to. 

Following the April 10 Dynamite, our own Dave Meltzer wrote about Ospreay's motivations for his promo in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

(Ospreay)'s feeling was that WWE was fully aware about his situation with his partner, woman wrestling star Alex Windsor, and his stepson. But Levesque still took a cheap shot at him and he felt Levesque deserved one back.

Ospreay defeated Bryan Danielson in 32 minutes and 40 seconds at AEW Dynasty. He's now 6-0 since becoming a full-time member of the roster in March. He's defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, Claudio Castagnoli, and now Danielson in that time.
