AEW's Kenny Omega Sends Cease And Desist Letter To Will Ospreay

As the beef between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega continues to rumble on, the Aerial Assassin has revealed that Omega recently sent him a cease and desist letter in regards to a new t-shirt Ospreay debuted on Pro Wrestling Tees last week.
For those who missed, the Brit hit Mad Kurt with Kenny's patented One-Winged Angel at RevPro 63 earlier this month. That move famously has only ever been kicked out of once - by Kota Ibushi - and so Ospreay caused quite the reaction when he pulled Kurt up after a count of two; essentially meaning Mad Kurt kind of kicked out of the manoeuvre.
In terms of how this ties to the aforementioned PWTees shirt, Ospreay launched a tee which had him doing the One-Winged Angel on the front, whilst the back of the shirt had the phrase "Better Than The Best Bout Machine". Of course, the Best Bout Machine is a moniker Omega has long gone by.

Never one to shy away from speaking his mind, this PWTees announcement was soon followed by Will putting out his own video labelling Kenny, amongst other things, as "an insecure little bitch" and "a miserable little prick".

On the other side of the coin, Omega has likewise now commented on this situation. Taking to Twitter, the Canadian explained how this t-shirt "trigged various legal concerns" within All Elite Wrestling.
This triggered various legal concerns within #Aew . Sincerest apologies to fans of Will. We’ve made it so all orders (up to today) will be honored. https://t.co/klHnk6XGL1

This is the latest in a long line of back-and-forths between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega, with many believing that this is all leading to a match somewhere down the line between the two former IWGP World Heavyweight Champions. For Ospreay, though, he has reiterated time and time again that this is not part of some elaborate storyline, and that he really does hate the AEW EVP.
