On the post-Sakura Genesis press conference, the newly crowned IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay called out CM Punk and former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
Will Ospreay revealed that once CM Punk was interested in facing him and now he have the biggest prize in pro wrestling. He also claimed that of if CM Punk wants to prove himself as the best in the world, then, challenged him to take this title from him.
“Before I was the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, a man who sparked the whole industry of getting the wrestling world interested in, named CM Punk, was interested in facing Will Ospreay. Now I have the biggest prize in pro wrestling, so if you really are wanting to prove to yourself that you’re the best in the world but where in my opinion, you were just probably the best in the bad bunch. Come over here and come take this because no one’s going to be able to take this from me.”

In the same interview, Will Ospreay he also wants to test himself against the self proclaimed greatest British wrestler, Drew McIntyre. So, he would love to have IWGP World Heavyweight Champion vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion between him and McIntyre to find out the best British wrestler.
“I would like to test myself against one of the other people that call themselves the greatest British wrestler that ever lived. He’s a man that held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Drew McIntyre. Say that if there’s ever a chance the United States visa has been approved, I would love to have a IWGP World Heavyweight Champion vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion between two British men and find out who the best British wrestler is out of them.”
