Will Ospreay Talks Using Black Arrow On AEW Dynamite, ‘Something Told Me On This Night I Could Make The Jump’
On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Will Ospreay used PAC’s Black Arrow finisher to defeat Ricochet.
This was widely considered to be one of the best moments of the tribute show, especially given Ospreay’s history with ‘The Bastard’.
Taking to social media after the show, Ospreay said that he practiced the move for hours before the show.
“Got to the arena at 2PM and was in the ring til doors opened practicing. I haven’t performed the Black Arrow for 8 years. Something told me on this night I could make the jump. I threw my heart out in front of me and Ben caught it. Thank you Pac.”

Ospreay also took to Instagram to say that he loves seeing all of the reaction videos to the special moment.
“Love seeing the reaction videos to the Black Arrow. Honoured that I could’ve given so many people that loved Pac one last look. I hope that was the emotional release everybody needed and I’m so grateful I could’ve given that to you. No where near as good as Bens but that’s what made him so special. One of one. Thank you all.”
