Over the last few months there’s been a lot of movement in the wrestling world and a lot of people were wondering what Will Ospreay’s next destination would be. Ultimately Opsreay signed with All Elite Wrestling and he’s been featured as one of the company’s top stars in recent weeks.
There are some fans who feel that Will Ospreay would have been a great addition to the WWE roster, but it seems that it just wasn’t meant to be. Recently Dave Meltzer discussed WWE’s reaction to Will Ospreay joining AEW on Wrestling Observer Radio and he claimed that people in the company believe Triple H didn’t realize the full extent of Ospreay’s talents.
“I just think that if Triple H is watching this, he’s going like, ‘Holy f**k.’ They know he’s a good wrestler, but I don’t think they know that he’s the charismatic person and talker and can get over.
“I know people in WWE when this was going down – it was becoming very clear he was going to AEW and not WWE – and they (WWE) offered a lot less money. I know people there were going like, ‘He (Triple H) didn’t realize’. They knew, but he just didn’t realize. He just thought, ‘Ah, he’s one of these great workers.'”
