Will Ospreay on Bozilla Was Scheduled For EVE Wrestle Queendom 8 Before ACL Injury, Wanting ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, Mercedes Moné, Athena, & Red Velvet for Future EVE Shows, His Goal for EVE Shows, & Why Syuri’s Match for Wrestle Queendom 8 Hasn’t Been Announced Yet

A recent episode of the Pep Shop Collectables featured AEW talent and Pro Wrestling EVE producer Will Ospreay as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Ospreay’s thoughts about how Bozilla was originally scheduled to compete at Pro Wrestling EVE’s upcoming Wrestle Queendom VIII event prior to her torn ACL injury.

“I’ll happily announce this on your show. We was meant to have Bozilla for this show, and unfortunately, she tore her ACL. I was there at the STARDOM show and I had to help her get backstage. Bo is a dear friend of mine — mine and (Alex Windsor’s). We love her and her dad so much. She was one that was meant to be on this show and unfortunately cannot be a part of it. But the moment she is fit to go, of course I want her to come back because she’s an attraction. She’s more than just a wrestler. She’s the woman that passes the airport test where you walk past her, you do like a little head turn just to go, oh my God. She’s a star.”

Ospreay also gave his thoughts about “Timeless” Toni Storm, Mercedes Moné, Athena, and Red Velvet being his choices of talents he would like to see appear on future EVE shows.

“Haven’t been before is a hard one. Athena definitely sticks out in my mind. Obviously, we really would love to have Mercedes Moné come down. Someone that I would have loved to return to EVE and we tried so hard to be able to do it — the dates did not work out — we would really love Toni Storm to come back. Toni was such a huge staple for EVE… It would have been amazing to have her come down and do one more show for EVE, especially in the incarnation that she is now. Doesn’t work out but it doesn’t mean that it’s a no forever. It just means we need to reevaluate dates and offer some more…

One more. Red Velvet as well. I’ve been a real big fan of her. I think she has such charisma and aura and she knows how to just conduct a crowd. I would love to see her in The Big Penny.”

Ospreay also gave his thoughts about one of the goals he has for the future of EVE is to see the company travel on the road for shows.

“I love that we have a regular hub in The Big Penny, but I would really love to get EVE on the road and I would love to be able to try and get shows in Cardiff. I’d like to do shows in Manchester and Newcastle. I would really love to take EVE to France…”

Ospreay also gave his thoughts about his reason why EVE is waiting until the end of February to announce Syuri’s match for Wrestle Queendom VIII event.

“We have an idea of what we are gonna do with that match (involving Syuri) but we cannot announce it until towards the end of February, because if there is any type of ramifications with any of her championships, it is gonna drastically change our booking. So we are ready to go with this announcement but we have to wait until the time is right.”
