Will Ospreay has reacted to a fan who criticized the way the AEW International Champion dresses on television.

Since officially becoming All Elite earlier this year, Will Ospreay has been undefeated in singles matches in AEW. At the AEW Double or Nothing PPV last month, Ospreay captured his first singles title in AEW by beating Roderick Strong for the International Championship.

The positive momentum has continued for Will Ospreay since he won a Casino Gauntlet Match that will give him his first opportunity at AEW’s World Title.

On AEW Dynamite in Fairfax, Ospreay had a “face to face” in-ring promo confrontation with the AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland. While there was no physicality between the two men, Swerve did mention Will’s family during the promo, which angered Ospreay and led to Ospreay threatening Swerve.

During their promo exchange, Ospreay was wearing what appeared to be sweatpants along with sneakers, a shirt, and a backward hat. A fan went on social media to criticize Ospreay’s outfit saying he didn’t look like a champion.

I like Will Ospreay but will someone show him how to F*CKIN DRESS LIKE A CHAMPION?!?! IT’S NOT HARD! Throw on a f*ckin suit you bum!! This is embarrassing! #AEW#AEWDynamite

How Did Will Ospreay Respond To Fan Criticizing His Outfit?

That led to Ospreay defending his outfit while bragging about having a Rolex watch that is apparently worth $10,000 according to Ospreay.

I appreciate your view on how a champion should dress bruv.

But this is how most of the lads round my area in Essex dress aye and for me to feel comfortable delivering my most authentic self I have to stay true.

Hope this $18,000 Rolex made up for looking like a “bum”

The Swerve Strickland-Will Ospreay match takes place at AEW-NJPW Forbidden Door on June 30th and the match is for Swerve’s AEW World Championship.
