'For example, one of the guys who (just came in) is Speedball Mike Bailey, who was like the Indie King at one point,' Will Ospreay began. 'He was going everywhere and putting on some of the greatest matches ever.
'I think that's what we're looking at more now instead of guys that just got let go from WWE, and my heart goes out to them all, but we're looking for guys that are appreciative of this position, who are grafting and improving the markets elsewhere instead of they just got let go from WWE and instantly assume they can come here. Nah, go out and prove to other people you're wanted and desired.
Will Ospreay basically wants to see recently released WWE talents improve the houses elsewhere
'My heart goes out to all of them. It should never be assumed that 'Oh, I got let go here, I can just walk into AEW.' Nah, bruv. The bar is too high now. I want to see all of these guys cut their teeth elsewhere and improve the houses elsewhere. Go to New Japan, go to NOAH, go to STARDOM. Go elsewhere and improve their houses before you can think, 'Oh, I'll just come here.'

'That's just me. There are certain guys, like Swerve (Strickland) got let go from WWE and came to AEW straight away. He's a special one. He's special. MVP is another, he's special. (Bobby) Lashley, special. Shelton (Benjamin), special. I want people to be like, you can't just come walk in. I really do think the independents need it right now.
'They need someone to help guide this next generation to come through. That's just me, personally. I don't mean that in any type of disrespectful way. Right now, AEW we are the best wrestlers right now, and all those guys who have been let go, tragically, are really good pro wrestlers, but you can't just be good anymore. You've got to be elite.'

'I've Been Right All Along' - Seth Rollins Slams WWE Fans' Biggest Theory
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Raw superstar Seth Rollins has pushed back against the perception that he is a heel. Instead, he insists in a recent interview with Kay Adams that he remains a good guy, aka a babyface. He has also said that the recent controversial alliances are simply a case of others recognizing the fact that he is right. This comes as Rollins spearheads a new dominant faction on Monday Night Raw alongside Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. When asked about his current on-screen persona, Rollins stated, "I'm not [a heel], I'm a good guy. I haven't changed a bit." He explained, "It just so happens that people have come to me. People have flocked to me." "I've been right all along!" Seth Rollins has something to say to every WWE fan calling him a villain. 👀 @heykayadams | @WWERollins — Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) June 5, 2025 Rollins pointed to his claimed WrestleMania 41 success as validation: "Now look, I saw you before WrestleMania. I told you before WrestleMania exactly what was going to happen. I was going to put it to Roman Reigns. I was going to put it to CM Punk. I was going to win the main event of WrestleMania. I did all that. Absolutely nothing changed." Seth Rollins gestures to the crowd during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

Regarding his new stablemates, Rollins commented, "Then you see, Bron Breakker, he wants to learn from me. Bronson Reed, we had a little thing last year, but now there's a lot of respect between the two of us, and we're off to the races." When Kay Adams directly asked if he considered himself a heel, Rollins responded, "No, absolutely not. No, not." He then delivered a message to WWE fans who view him as such: "I've been right all along. I know you, you're new to WWE, but for all the WWE fans out there that are watching, I have been right every step of the way, and I have pulled you guys kicking and screaming through the mud." Rollins proclaimed, "...and now we are in the greatest version of WWE of all time, and so I will continue to be that person that leads us into the future, whether you think that I am right or not."

Dominik Mysterio Continues To Bury CM Punk In Hilarious Fashion
Dominik Mysterio really doesn't like CM Punk and isn't afraid to let the world know why he feels that way. WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio was a recent guest on Casual Conversations with The Classic. When asked about how he feels about CM Punk nowadays, Mysterio didn't hold back on burying Punk in hilarious fashion. Advertisement 'I think we just both mutually hate each other equally,' Dominik Mysterio began. 'I f*cking hate CM Punk, I don't know what it is about that guy, I don't know if it's because he looks like Eddie Munster and I want to kick him in the f*cking face. Or the fact that everyone is like, 'He finally did it, he finally got his WrestleMania main event.' Good for you, old man. 60 years old, it took you what, 45 years to accomplish your one goal? It's about time. 'It's what they say about babies. When they have tantrums, you give them what they want so they shut the f*ck up. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. That's why he needed a favor from Paul Heyman. There is a reason he was never in the main event. You call yourself the Best in the World. I don't need to go around calling myself the Best in the World. People know I'm better than the best. 'I don't need to call myself Best in the World at 70 years old. People do it for me. You have [John] Cena talking about me, JBL, AJ Styles, legends talking about me. I don't need to do it for myself or say these things about me because people say it for me. My work speaks for itself. Here you go with CM Punk. I could go on this rant forever, but I need to stop myself.'

CM Punk Reveals Why He Has A Pepsi Tattoo
CM Punk has a lot of tattoos that make him stand out as a WWE Superstar, but why does he have a Pepsi tattoo? RAW Superstar CM Punk was a recent guest on WWE: Tattooed. When asked about the meaning behind his Pepsi tattoo, Punk explained the meaning behind it. Advertisement 'I guess I'd be remiss to not mention the Pepsi tattoo,' CM Punk said. 'I think maybe that one, probably historically over time, has gotten the most attention. The story with the Pepsi tattoo is there is a band called Minor Threat that started in the early 80s in Washington, DC, that's widely known to have started the straight edge subculture. 'And the guitarist, Brian Baker, was asked in an interview I read while I was in detention, you have a Coca-Cola tattoo? Why do you have a Coca-Cola tattoo? And his response is, I like Coca-Cola. And I was like, that's just punk rock right there. You know? I don't like Coke. I like Pepsi. I'm a Midwest kid at heart, so I've got a Pepsi tattoo. 'That tattoo represents me being straight edge, and that's really kind of it. I know it seems silly to put a corporate logo on yourself, but it really has a deeper meaning, and it means so much more to me than just, you know, a soft drink.'
