“They Flopped”: Will Ospreay’s Real Madrid Comparison With AEW Roster After Sasha Banks Return Causes Rift Online

Ex-WWE Superstar Sasha Banks received a magnificent pop from the crowd when she made her AEW debut.

The response on the internet also showed the adulation pro wrestling fans share for her.

Will Ospreay gave a fiery speech to the AEW arena and made everyone appreciate his heart-to-heart mic work. However, Ospreay is now seeking to diminish the light of other AEW stars with a picture. This was not taken kindly by the AEW fans, who lashed out at him for his antics.

The Real Madrid players had garnered the nickname of Galacticos due to their marquee stature. This comparison didn’t fare well among the AEW faithful. A loud minority did share some positive words but the majority of them were not happy about it. Many fans thought it was a hint related at Mone’s return. Hence, Will Ospreay’s comparison of the AEW roster to the Real Madrid players sparked controversy online following Sasha Banks’ return. 

Fans lash out at Ospreay after AEW roster comparison with the Galacticos

“Galactico” in Spanish means ‘galactic’ and is used in football to describe superstar players with exceptional abilities. Hence, when Ospreay tweeted, the image fans were quick to voice out their views on this. 

One fan expressed how Madrid failed to compete for glory despite surrounding themselves with marquee talent.

Some people even pointed out how bad a comparison this was and might affect the AEW publicity.

A football fan also went ahead to compare the new signings to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid as they aspired for the highest position but consistently fail to do so.

Lastly, others went on to say how the players were better in other teams and not in Real Madrid as they could not live up to their name. Hence emphasizing the fact about the poor comparison.
