Last month, Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher ended their long-standing rivalry in a steel cage match that many fans called one of the greatest ever. The very next day, Seth Rollins and CM Punk continued their feud in another steel cage match on the March 10 episode of Raw. However, according to the British wrestler, both Rollins and Punk failed to match the high standard set by him and Fletcher the night before at Revolution.

While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Will Ospreay said his match with Fletcher had everything—drama, stunts, and storytelling. He claimed no other steel cage match could compare. Many fans believed he was taking a subtle dig at the match between CM Punk and Rollins that took place the very next day. Ospreay added that while Punk and Rollins tried to create something special, they just couldn’t top what he and Fletcher had done.

The longtime rivals faced off in a steel cage match to determine who was the better man. In the final moments, just as it seemed The Architect was about to win, Roman Reigns appeared out of nowhere and pulled him out of the cage, securing the victory for him. The Original Tribal Chief made a statement by attacking both Punk and Rollins, marking his emphatic return.

I can’t think of another cage match off the top of my head that had done the stunts, the storytelling, the drama as well as that. I mean, people tried to top it the next day, and they couldn’t. I just could not believe the output and the support that we got afterward, and just how people just thought it was one of the greatest steel cage matches ever.

The three stars are set to face each other in a grueling match during the Night 1 main event of WrestleMania 41. This isn’t the first time an AEW wrestler has mentioned WWE in a promo or interview. Popular wrestler MJF once name-dropped Vince McMahon in a promo. Needless to say, the back-and-forth jabs are unlikely to stop anytime soon.

During his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, the former World Heavyweight Champion shared his honest thoughts about The Rock. He revealed that The Rock invited him and his family to the premiere of his movie Moana 2. Rollins described the experience as magical. He added that the premiere took place on a beach in Hawaii and featured many child-friendly activities. The Rock even gave a speech before the movie started.

He was kind enough to invite us to Hawaii to watch the premiere of Moana 2. So we got to see it … yeah, we got to see it on the lawn with the sunset in the background. She’s too young to remember it, but it was really an incredible experience for our family. He’s been a great boss, I will say.

Despite their rivalry at WrestleMania XL, Rollins admitted that The Rock is now a “great boss” and very generous. His tag team match with Cody Rhodes against Reigns and The Final Boss was unforgettable and received high praise from the WWE Universe.

Dominik Mysterio revealed his immense hatred for CM Punk

The rivalry between CM Punk and Rey Mysterio is still remembered by fans because of its strong storyline. Punk caused a lot of trouble for the entire Mysterio family during his feud with the legendary luchador. After everything he went through during that time, Dominik Mysterio said that his hatred for The Best in the World was completely justified.

While speaking on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Dom said he dislikes Punk because he left WWE when the company was struggling and only returned after things got better. Dom also mentioned that The Second City Saint tormented him when he was just 12 years old. He couldn’t understand why Punk treated him that way and said it left him deeply traumatized as a child.

I hate CM Punk, why, because he’s old, he disappeared for what, 30 years, and came back and he’s now what, 60, and he’s still wrestling, he tortured me when I was a kid…so I was 12 years old, and he was probably like 45 at the time, maybe 50 — I just don’t like CM Punk, he traumatized me as a kid, who does that to a 12 year old, what’s wrong with him.

Interestingly, Dominik was Punk’s first opponent after his dramatic return at Survivor Series 2023. Although the match took place at a non-televised event, there’s a chance they could cross paths again in the future. Dom will be in a Fatal 4-Way at WrestleMania XL, while Punk headlines his first Mania in a triple threat match vs. Rollins and Reigns.
