In a recent appearance on “The Wrestling Classic” podcast, AEW International Champion MJF dismissed the idea of a potential rematch against Will Ospreay, stating that he has no intention to face The Aerial Assassin again following his “easy win” at Dynamite 250.
MJF said, “Why would I wrestle a guy I beat so handily? I literally beat him in record time. I mean, yeah, if somebody tries to pitch that to me, there’s no reality that match is happening again. I beat him, I now have this title. I’m gonna make this title mean more than any title that exists in all of professional wrestling. I keep trying to warn Will, probably because he’s foreign and stupid and from the worst country that’s ever existed, the United Kingdom, but yeah, Will’s falling in the same trap I fell into. He’s wrestling to impress, he’s not wrestling to win, and I’ll never wrestle like that ever again. The way I wrestle now is very defense-based. I’m looking for reversals. I’m looking to cut corners. I’m not looking for the hard way. I’m looking for the easy way out. I don’t give a f**k. I’ll say that proudly with a smile on my face. I have that killer instinct. That’s something that Will Ospreay lacks, and that’s why he lost against me, and I dominated him. People are saying it was the most dominating victory of all time. I didn’t even sweat. It was the easiest match probably of my entire life.”
