Ahead of the match, Omega doesn’t seem to be lacking in confidence either, highlighting the impact he has made across the globe throughout his career.

“I still believe, deep down, that I’m probably the best wrestler and best representative, on a worldwide scale, for professional wrestling,” he said.

Ospreay recently cited the pressure of being the flag-bearer for NJPW, as opposed to just focusing on defeating Omega, as a major reason for his Wrestle Kingdom loss. Still, with no return to Japan in the immediate future, Omega made it clear that, in his opinion, the pressure in this match should remain on his opponent.

“[NJPW] may just lose one of their most prized possessions for an undisclosed amount of time,” Omega said. “So it’s a very big match for Will.”
