A female wrestler recently recounted how Will Ospreay intervened to protect her from MJF during an event outside AEW last year, highlighting a tense moment in the wrestling world. The incident took place during a RevPro show where MJF was defending his American Championship against Michael Oku, adding context to the ongoing rivalry between Ospreay and MJF.
Background on the Incident at RevPro Event
During the match last year, which lasted approximately 30 minutes, MJF successfully retained his title against Oku. After the hard-fought bout, MJF targeted Amira Blair, a RevPro wrestler who was at ringside, with the intent to attack her using his Tiger Driver ’91 move. Before MJF could strike, Will Ospreay, known as The Aerial Assassin and at the time feuding with MJF, stepped in to stop the assault, saving Blair from harm.
Clarification and Response to Controversy
Recently, Corey Brennan from Fightful shared a video on X suggesting that Ospreay had kicked Blair in the stomach six months prior to the MJF incident, casting doubt on the narrative of Ospreay’s protective actions. This prompted Blair to respond directly, recalling Ospreay’s words during the rescue and softening her view of him.
“Also he forgets but when when @WillOspreay did save me from MJF he said ‘no one bullies that b***h but me’ and I still think that’s the only nice thing he’s ever said to me. He’s ok tbf.”
