The said promotion is going viral on all social media platforms and has impressed Ospreay with their skills and talent, and thus, The Arial Assasin decided to donate $2000.<\/p>\n<p>Soft Ground Wrestling Uganda (SGW) is a local wrestling promotion that helps young athletes in East Africa develop their wrestling skills. They provide a platform for these talents to grow and showcase their in-ring abilities to the world via the power of social media.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t have a traditional ring set up, but they make it work with a dirt ring, bamboo ring posts, and string ropes. The promotion posts videos of their matches on social media and are getting tons of attraction.<\/p>\n<p>SGW has set up a platform on GoFundMe to collect funds to support their wrestling promotion and talents. AEW&#8217;s Will Ospreay recently donated $2000 to them and won the hearts of many fans by this gesture.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>AEW star Will Ospreay subtly mocks WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes<\/h2>\n<p>Cody Rhodes was all set to challenge Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 40 after winning the 2024 Royal Rumble. However, The Rock\u2019s interference has hindered his plans. The Rock recently returned to WWE, thereby hinting towards facing his cousin at &#8216;Mania. WWE has been pushing to make the match happen, but the fans do not like it.<\/p>\n<p>A fan on X\/ Twitter shared a meme making fun of Cody, who lost yet another chance to complete his story. AEW star Will Ospreay likes the meme, thus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-top-aew-star-surprisingly-likes-post-mocking-cody-rhodes-ahead-wrestlemania-40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">subtly mocking<\/a> The American Nightmare on the social platform.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, too, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/cody-rhodes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cody Rhodes<\/a> won the Rumble but suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of The Tribal Chief. This year, he probably won\u2019t even get to face the champion at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>Do you think WWE should replace Cody Rhodes with The Rock at WrestleMania 40?
