Callum Newman trashes newest addition to Will Ospreay’s AEW United Empire
Will Ospreay and Callum Newman aren’t seeing eye to eye as leaders of the United Empire. Newman handles faction business in NJPW, and Ospreay is expanding ranks within AEW. The newest addition for Ospreay’s group is Mike Bailey, as revealed on Dynamite. Apparently, Speedball is a divisive wrestler among fans. Newman sides with the critics.
The Prince of Pace chimed in on social media with negativity for the the new United Empire mate. “Cool. The group is a joke again. Can’t wait to be asked to lock in and make it good again.”

That was cold from Newman. Other members don’t share the same opinion. Francesco Akira and Henare welcomed Bailey to the United Empire.
