Realistically speaking there’s nothing that you could ‘plan’ that makes you ‘smile every single minute of every single day’. But WWE IS all about putting smiles on faces. ?#ospreayvsorton 06/2020 https://t.co/g5CMkEpQ0g

Ospreay wasn’t interested in going to a WWE show, however.

Realistically nah maybe you got me there ? I’m happy tho

Hope you are happy where you are. But unfortunately my friend I’m here for the long run.

Ospreay would later comment on the …dive controversy with Orton:

Will Ospreay: “I would like to show people that what I do is professional wrestling”

“I thought it was really funny, I do agree a bit, quite a lot of it. I do feel like wrestling has become very similar [in style], but just listen to that crowd from New York. It is that format, and everyone was going insane. I don’t know what to say but … dive.”
