Tony Schiavone: "Okay, Will Ospreay, the things you have been doing here in AEW, I've told you this before: unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. But, coming up now, it's you and Bryan Danielson. [crowd chants "bruv"] It's a match I know fans around the world are looking forward to coming up on April 21st."
Will Ospreay: "Mate, uh, so, I rocked up today and they said 'what do you want to do?' I said, 'send Schiavone out there; I want to go talk to the beautiful people of Boston'. And on April 21st, this match means so much to me. My entire career, all I've wanted to do is emulate the career of Bryan Danielson. Whether it was his stuff that he done in Japan, or his enthusiasm for the independents. Whether it was fifty people, five hundred people, five thousand people, Bryan Danielson left it in the ring every single night for all of these beautiful people. And I'm glad, I'm glad Bryan Danielson is a fan of my work, because he said I have been staring down the lens of a Japanese camera saying that I am the best wrestler in the world. Bryan Danielson looked at me and said 'prove it.'
Bryan, allow me to remind you what you said once upon a time: you see, after my match with Kenny Omega, everybody was talking about one move: the Tiger Driver '91. Where I butterfly my opponent's arms, lift him up, and drop him on his knockers, no regard for the body, bruv. And you know what the most violent man for live TV said? He said 'was it worth it?' Speaking as the guy that was in the match with blood pissing out of my head, and every single time my heart beat, more blood came out, and standing as the winner: Bryan Danielson, I can say: yeah, bruv, it was worth it!
You see, Bryan, while I respect you this match on April 21st means a hell of a lot more to me and it means a lot to a lot of people around the world. You know why? Because the moment, the moment I step foot in AEW, there has been a phrase that has been following me and following everyone. And I believe all of you guys know it, because Tony Khan knows it, the boys and girls in the back know it, and everyone here knows the phrase: 'restore the feeling'. Bruv, I am the feeling! This, this match is about reminding people what AEW is! You put the best wrestler in the world against the best wrestler of the 21st century and only one man walks out a winner!
And let me tell you, let me tell you this: the one thing I have learned from Bryan Danielson is that I can have respect for the man that stands opposite me, but the moment I walk into this ring, it's your life or it's mine, and I don't plan on dying, bruv! April 21st, this is about finding out who is the best wrestler in the world! And let me tell you, because my name is Will Ospreay and I am on another level!"
