AJ Styles wanted Will Ospreay in WWE

Will Ospreay signed with AEW in November 2023 after he departed from NJPW. A few months later, he competed in his first match as part of the roster at Revolution.

While speaking to Irish Wrestling and Entertainment, AJ Styles revealed that he contacted Ospreay in hopes of convincing him to join WWE. He acknowledged how he was one of the best talents in the world, and someone he wanted to see join the company.

"Why would I not want some of the best talent in the world to come to WWE? I mean, I think there are great guys. If he was a douchebag, I wouldn't him called him. I think he's a great talent and... it's only a matter of time," said AJ Styles. [From 02:52 to 03:08]
