A former champion has just captured a monumental win tonight in his return to AEW Collision for the first time in more than five months. He also took the time to pay tribute to AJ Styles during their match.
Will Ospreay is making his debut in the AEW Continental Classic, which features 12 of the best stars on the roster in a round-robin tournament with Kazuchika Okada’s Continental Championship on the line. Tonight, the former International Champion faced off against Juice Robinson in his first match on Collision since June.
Tonight’s contest took place just a week after AEW Full Gear, where Will Ospreay suffered a shocking loss against Kyle Fletcher. For the majority of the match, it seems Ospreay was still dealing with the effects of his match with the Protostar.
After a slow start to his match, Ospreay began picking up momentum. The bout ended after he successfully set up Robinson for a Styles Clash, which allowed him to hit the Hidden Blade and score a three-count.
Ospreay’s win tonight gives him three points in the Continental Classic, putting him at the top of the Gold League along with Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli, who earned wins on Dynamite earlier this week.
