Will Ospreay addresses falling into bucket on AEW Dynamite: ‘You gotta laugh’
While Will Ospreay is typically in control of his body while in the ring, that wasn’t exactly the case backstage on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
In the show’s opening segment, Ospreay was with the Death Riders backstage as Jon Moxley was giving a pre-match pep talk and closed with “Don’t stop moving forward.” The faction and a reluctant Ospreay locked arms and went around in a circle a few times before he accidentally lost his balance and fell awkwardly into a large metal bucket.
The team stared at Ospreay with Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta visibly laughing as was Ospreay who had to turn away from the camera as the rest of the team left for their match.
Shortly afterward, Ospreay retweeted the clip seen below adding “You gotta laugh” with an emoji.
Ospreay later competed on the show, defeating ELP in a warmup match ahead of his bout with Swerve Strickland at Sunday’s Forbidden Door in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
