In response to Omega's comments at the press conference, Ospreay went on a two-minute rant as he detailed his struggles in Japan over the last two years.

"Listen to me. I don't understand why anyone would want to watch clap crowd wrestling. I don't know anyone that wants to watch that but people turned up and for that I had to fight and for you to sit there and belittle me, you fu**ing c***. How fu**ing dare you?" said Ospreay.

"You have not the slightest idea on what I've gone through. My best friend fu**ing died and I had to watch his funeral through a fu**ing iPad, bruv. How dare you sit there and belittle anything that I've fu**ing done to try and help?" added Ospreay. [1:10-1:42]
