Will Ospreay On Seth Rollins: "Maybe It Gets Under His Skin That My Junior Championship Means More Than His WWE Universal Championship"
The beefiest of Twitter beef...
Seth Rollins and Will Ospreay's Twitter beef has been one of the bigger talking points of the week so far.
It all started when Rollins claimed WWE is the “best pro wrestling on the planet. Period,” before also tweeting “find anyone else alive who does what I can do as well as I do it as often as I do it. Ya can’t.”
Ospreay replied to that second tweet with "I'm alive," and I'm sure you've been keeping tabs on how the rest has played out over the last few days.
The current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion has been speaking about the beef to those over at Wrestling Observer Radio and while he didn't think there was any harm intended by The Architect, Will noted that his title may be getting under Seth's skin slightly: “I don’t think it’s anything malicious behind it at all I just feel like the question he asked is find me someone alive that has the same type of schedule that I do, that can do what I can do, all I just said that I’m alive, " said Ospreay.
"I am. I’m very much alive. The things that make me laugh more about it, is that he brought in Ricochet to try and tear me down. You brought in another person to try and just be like, ‘Oh, no, you’re not…’ It’s like dude, you don’t have to do it. You just have to be like, ‘Oh okay, maybe we can have a match one day,’ but I think the thing is maybe it just gets under his skin that my championship, my Junior Championship means more than his Universal Championship. I don’t know. Like, who knows? It’s factual though!”
