International tag team Aussie Open have been seen a lot on AEW television lately. They were featured alongside Will Ospreay in the build to the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view event, and they’re set to square off against The Elite for a spot in the finals of the AEW Trios Tag Title Tournament.
Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher spoke with NJPW1972.com recently, and highlights of the interview are below:
Davis on appearing on AEW TV before Forbidden Door: “That whole experience came about really quickly. We had about a week’s notice before that first Dynamite, so we didn’t have the time to be nervous. There might be times where we’re a little anxious, but we’re hungry, we’re confident in what we can do, and we’ve done it for so long now. So getting the opportunity to wrestle in front of all those people wasn’t nerve wracking, it was something we’ve been waiting for for a long time. And to do it with two of my best friends in Kyle and Ospreay, there was no issues with chemistry. It felt like a home game for us, not overwhelming at all.”
Fletcher on their excitement about being on AEW TV: “We were just ready. Just like we said about the pandemic, we were waiting and frustrated for so long not [to be] able to get those opportunities that when it finally came around, we were screaming and ready to go. We know we’re the best tag team in the world and it’s just a case of showing everyone.”
Davis on making the semifinals of the trios tournament: “Good. Really good. We haven’t seen Ospreay for a while since he’s been killing it in the G1, but I know he’s as hungry as we are. The other side of our bracket, if the Young Bucks’ partner is who we think it’s going to be (interview conducted before 8/17), then he’s going to be working extra hard to try and wrestle them in the second round. After all he did for us, we’ll jump on a grenade for him to make that happen, win the tournament and take those titles.”
