Will Ospreay walked into Wembley Stadium, confronting the memories of past encounters. Navigating the backstage, he nodded at familiar faces like Zack Sabre Jr., Ricochet, and Swerve Strickland as he prepared to step into the limelight. A good-luck kiss with his wife, Alex Windsor, and a support gesture from Jon Moxley who handed him the Union Jack, marked his final moments before his entrance.
With the support of his home country, Ospreay faced Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship at All In, the premier stage of his career. His rivalry with Omega originates from their legendary clashes in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Omega attempted an early conclusion to the match. He used a TV monitor to wound Ospreay and powerbombed him through a table. Despite the blood, Ospreay retaliated with a fierce Hidden Blade, leaving Omega open.
Neither competitor entertained the idea of surrendering. Even as the referee tried to halt Omega, Ospreay delivered another Hidden Blade, yet couldn’t secure the win. He tried a Styles Clash, but the pin eluded him once more.
The match escalated to intense exchanges, with Omega delivering a V Trigger followed by a Tiger Driver ’91. A second V Trigger led to an attempt at his One-Winged Angel. Despite executing it well, Ospreay kicked out, showing resilience.
The stakes of the AEW World Championship were colossal for both Omega and Ospreay. Omega aimed for another V Trigger, but Ospreay countered and struck his version of the Tiger Driver. Fans chanted, “This is awesome!” as the two competitors gradually rose.
Omega attempted a final V Trigger, but Ospreay intercepted, employing Omega’s finisher—though only managing a one count. A Stormbreaker also fetched a singular count. What could halt either man?
With blood obscuring his vision, Ospreay landed another Hidden Blade and successfully pinned Omega, capturing the victory. With this win, Will Ospreay earned the AEW World Championship, becoming the first Englishman to achieve a world title on British soil. This marked the beginning of his reign as champion.
