An AEW star recently took a massive shot at WWE and Triple H's roster, drawing the attention of the pro-wrestling community. According to a veteran, Will Ospreay was probably being motivated by Tony Khan to wave his company's banner.
Tony Khan has shown himself to be very generous financially when it comes to retaining talented names, Will Ospreay included. As such, his roster also showcases fierce loyalty to him and often makes it clear that the Jacksonville-based promotion is ahead of its competitors in certain ways. Ospreay's shot at WWE was one of these instances, with the British star singing the praises of his company owing to his financial backing by Tony Khan, or so Vince Russo thinks.
