AEW star Will Ospreay posted an emotional message before this week's Dynamite
Before Dynamite, the former AEW International Champion unexpectedly released a sentimental statement on X/Twitter, where he reflected on his life and career so far. Furthermore, Ospreay wrote how grateful he was for being able to pursue pro wrestling as a career.
"Wanted to take this tweet to tell you all how extremely grateful I am being able to do the things that I do. I have a constant fear of letting you all down because I’ve done it so often. 'We all fail at the people we are meant to be' has followed me since I got my first deal," he wrote.
Ospreay is a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. He will likely aim to become the world champion in AEW in the years to come.
