Earlier tonight at Revolution, a top AEW star seemingly referenced AJ Styles by using his iconic finisher during his match. The AEW star in question would be Will Ospreay.

The Aerial Assassin faced Konosuke Takeshita in what was his first match as an official member of the AEW roster. He made sure to bring out all stops to put his opponent away during the match.
This did not come easy, as The Alpha is famously known for being one of the best strikers in the business. He was a tough opponent to put away, and it seemed as if Ospreay was at risk of losing his first match as an AEW competitor.

He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
