Opponents
If Ospreay does compete for WWE, there’s no shortage of potential Superstars for him to face.
In the interview, Ospreay discussed possible opponents, including a first-ever match and reuniting with an old foe.
“I’ve mentioned Seth Rollins’ name many times… Also, considering my history, it would be a dream to fight Ricochet again. I think that because I think we have become completely different wrestlers than when we fought in the past.”
Ricochet and Ospreay have faced off a total of 13 times according to Cagematch, which their most recent bout being in August 2017.
