Will Ospreay Recognizes Jerry Lynn's Influence on AEW Style Changes

Will Ospreay has expressed a desire to face Samoa Joe, citing their connection through AJ Styles and believing Joe could push him to his limits. Since joining AEW, Ospreay has adjusted his in-ring style for television matches, aiming to save his best performances for pay-per-view events, a strategy he credits to working with ECW legend Jerry Lynn. He noted that rare opportunities exist for epic matches on TV, prompting him to be more selective with his moves during regular shows. Ospreay's evolution as a wrestler has been marked by impressive performances against top talents like MJF and Kenny Omega, and he is currently competing in the Owen Hart Cup. After defeating Kevin Knight, he is set to face either Brody King or Konosuke Takeshita in the semifinals, with aspirations to earn a title shot at AEW's All In this summer. Ospreay's thoughtful approach emphasizes the importance of storytelling in wrestling, focusing on making specific moves resonate with audiences.
