Will Ospreay Responds To Twitter Apology From Seth Rollins
As noted earlier, WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins took to Twitter today and apologized for the recent social media beef with IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay of New Japan Pro Wrestling, specifically the "let's compare bank accounts" line he made in a recent tweet.
Ospreay responded with a tweet this evening and accepted Rollins' apology. He also joked about Rollins buying him a Nando's to squash the beef.
"Honestly nothing but respect for you sir, just a bit of banter in my mind. I've followed your career since you were Tyler Black, I know it's not all the money & it's about the love. Keep flying your flag & having fun," Ospreay added.
Below is Ospreay's full tweet along with the apology from Rollins and a look back at their exchange:
Apology accepted.
Just buy me a Nando's ;) ??

After a few days to sit on it, I'd like to apologize to @WillOspreay for the tweet I sent his way about comparing bank accounts. It was dumb of me & not in line with my values. The moment I pressed the send button I knew it was trash, but I'm too stubborn for my own good.

I stand firm in my sentiments that @WWE is the best pro wrestling on the planet and that I'm the best of the best doing it right now. After a helluva week of travel, our crew didn't waver for a second. Top level humans busting their asses for the love of the game.

I couldn't be more proud to be a champion with this company and represent @WWE and the entire industry in the way it deserves. No more garbage tweets. I can and will be better.

You love adding stuff don't ya. I mean the original question was
"Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it"
No talk of money. No talk of Ricochet. You said anyone.
Here I am.
Just as consistent, just as good.
Hope the back heals up. https://t.co/dfwkKVlyR4? ???? ??????? ? ????????? (@WillOspreay) June 25, 2019

P.S. That's counting a month off with a broken back...???? buddy.
