WWE and AEW have been on the lips of fans for the past week after workers from both companies threw hints at each other. One of them was Will Ospreay, who referred to Triple H in a derogatory way during a live promo. The British superstar wanted to respond to the statements of WWE’s Head of Content, who had pointed out that he did not need those talents who sought the comfort offered by other companies.

Ospreay’s promo was widely commented on and criticized in equal measure by a large section of the professional wrestling community. But now he seems to be over it. After he defeated Bryan Danielson, he revealed how HHH and the WWE are below him.
