In a recent appearance on the “Gabby AF” podcast, former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho lavished praise on the newest AEW signings – Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On AEW signing Kazuchika Okada: “I think Okada is a superstar. He has got such a look. He is such a great wrestler. Obviously, he’s headlined many Tokyo Domes and many New Japan shows. Already a legend in that country. I can only imagine what he’s going to do in this country.”
On his thoughts on Will Ospreay: “And same with Will Ospreay, as well, just to think about all the great matches that he’s had. If you believe in what a five-star match is or four-star match is, he doesn’t have anything but those types of matches. I can’t wait to see him do more here in AEW as well. So I think they made the right choice, all three of them, in the company they came to for what they want to accomplish. It’s exciting for me and it’s exciting for AEW.”
Ospreay defeated Jericho at AEW All In 2023. At NJPW Dominion 2019, Okada beat Jericho in the main event to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Title.
