Ospreay was successful in both his Bound for Glory match with Bailey and his subsequent TV match against Alexander, who Ospreay will face at Snake Eyes. Ospreay is looking forward to the match, both because of how good he felt the first match between him and Alexander was, but also because he feels this is Alexander’s opportunity to establish himself as TNA’s guy, by hanging with and possibly defeating a world-class wrestler such as himself.

“We all know right now [that] this is…probably going to be my last TNA appearance,” Ospreay said. “So now to go against Josh Alexander, this is his test now for him to see [if he’s the guy], because what TNA needs…every company has a world beater. Every single one. You can say, with WWE, you can say it’s Roman. With AEW, you can say it’s Kenny. With New Japan, maybe it was me. We have to find out who your world-beater is, and I think this is his ultimate test because he’s got one shot at this. 

“He’s got one shot to put down the best wrestler in the world today. And that’s the main thing. Even though I am going to AEW, I care about the next step of what TNA is going to go through. So they need a guy who is willing to take it to be their guy, the world beater. So this is Josh Alexander’s big chance now to go for it, and just try your head against the best in the world, and see if you can put his shoulders to the mat.”
