If AEW needs to raise the Worldwide Championship to being the secondary males’s singles title, then placing it on Ospreay was the perfect determination.

This man doesn’t know find out how to have a nasty match. Typically they’re good and generally they’re nice. He is a type of uncommon skills who elevates everybody he works with and himself on the similar time.

However this isn’t meant to take something away from O’Reilly. He is likely one of the greatest at what he does, so seeing him placed on an absolute banger with Ospreay in the primary occasion ought to shock no one.

This was a stable present with a few good matches and segments, however nothing got here near being pretty much as good as the ultimate 20 minutes of the present. Hopefully, these two cross paths once more quickly.
