In a much-anticipated confrontation, Will Ospreay is scheduled to defend his AEW International Championship later tonight against challengers Ricochet and Konosuke Takeshita. The triple threat match is set to take place at AEW WrestleDream 2024.
Tommy Dreamer, the ECW legend and host of the popular “Busted Open Radio” podcast, recently shared his predictions for the upcoming match. Dreamer expects Takeshita to come out on top and win the AEW International Championship at the evening’s event.
Check out the key takeaways from his podcast below:
Dreamer’s thoughts on Takeshita’s potential victory: “I would like to say, and I feels he needs it the most, we have a new champion…Takeshita walks out with the championship.”
Dreamer’s speculation on future storylines: “It’s a better story, we could then move towards Ospreay/Ricochet with more momentum, and perhaps Ospreay or Ricochet could then shift towards the world title. If Bryan Danielson leaves, the question arises, who will step up to that top position in the company? I suspect Will Ospreay has been primed for that.”
Ospreay’s title defense against Ricochet and Takeshita is among the many spectacles lined up for tonight at AEW WrestleDream. The event, hosted at the Tacoma Dome, Tacoma, Washington, promises to be an action-packed affair and will be aired live on pay-per-view.
In a recent episode of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Chris Jericho delved into his upcoming ROH World Championship match against Mark Briscoe, slated to take place at AEW WrestleDream 2024.
Here are some podcast highlights:
Jericho’s analysis of The Briscoes: “No disrespect intended, he was once overshadowed by his brother Jay. Jay, being the older one, had been the frontrunner of the two. Despite Mark’s greatness, Jay mostly dominated singles matches. Jay has earned the title of Ring of Honor Champion twice. When I defeat Mark Briscoe, I will secure my status as a two-time Ring of Honor Champion.”
Jericho’s take on his match against Mark Briscoe: “I believe this will be a particularly tough match because it’s not just about taking on a single opponent, it’s like going up against his entire family. It’s never easy to face off against Mark Briscoe. That’s another reason why I’m intrigued by this match – Jericho and Briscoe have never faced each other one-on-one in all these years of wrestling… we were never part of the same company.”
