In case you haven't heard, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are in the middle of an all-out social media war that supersedes their respective roles in AEW and NJPW.
The duo have knocked each other's in-ring abilities, critiqued the way they handle things backstage, and a host of other issues that you can read about here. In the grand scheme of things, the duo will probably fight forever online, at least until they enter the ring against one another for their second-ever singles match together historically.
Sidebar: How crazy is it that New Japan never booked a single singles match between Omega and Ospreay? That feels like a massive missed opportunity.
Until then, the feud is only going to build more and more, especially after Ospreay's latest shirt design, which reads “Billy the Wanker” on the front and “Better than the Best Bout Machine” on the back, was hit with a cease and desist from AEW due to use of their copyright.
Omega, to his credit, apologized to Osprey and (mostly) the fans who purchased the shirt from Pro Wrestling Tees, but in doing so, sort of made fun of the “Commonwealth Kingpin” too, which definitely wasn't intentional.
This triggered various legal concerns within #Aew . Sincerest apologies to fans of Will. We’ve made it so all orders (up to today) will be honored. https://t.co/klHnk6XGL1

See what I mean, at first read, it seemed rather nice, but not only has the shirt been downed moving forward, but it sort of paints Ospreay as rather bush league without the lawyers or the tact to produce a serious piece of merchandise. Still, until Ospreay responds, we'll have to see if this chapter of the feud has any more legs, or if Will is simply laughing all the way to the bank.
