A top AEW star’s 18-0 undefeated singles streak came to an end at the recent Forbidden Door III event. The star in question is Will Ospreay, known as The Aerial Assassin, who made his AEW debut in June 2022. Since then, he had been on an impressive winning streak, securing victory in 18 matches.
On the other hand, World Champion Swerve Strickland had been on a remarkable run following his win over Samoa Joe. He successfully defended his title against notable opponents like Christian Cage, Roderick Strong, and Claudio Castagnoli.
During the main event of Forbidden Door III, Will Ospreay faced off against Swerve in a highly anticipated match. Despite giving his all and showcasing his skills, Ospreay fell short as Swerve emerged victorious after a series of intense exchanges. This defeat marked Ospreay’s first singles loss since joining AEW.
Following the match, The Realest consoled a disappointed Ospreay, hinting at a potential rivalry brewing in the AEW landscape. With MJF and Daniel Garcia closely observing the match, the question arises – who will step up to challenge Swerve for the title next?
