Will Ospreay continues to make significant strides in 2025 both in and out of the ring. However, he has also got wrestling fans talking.
Ospreay’s wrestling career is a testament to his global reach and star power, starting in the UK before making a significant impact in New Japan Pro Wrestling, and ultimately leading him to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in the United States. He joined the promotion a year ago at the Full Gear PPV in 2023.
Recently, at AEW Revolution on March 9th, he was victorious over Kyle Fletcher in a steel cage match. Ospreay has now set his sights on the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
He has declared his intention to win and earn an AEW World Championship match at All In Texas, highlighting his determination to reach the top of professional wrestling. In an interview on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Ospreay also expressed his strong belief in AEW’s vision and the quality of content they are producing.
Ospreay stated that he believes in AEW and thinks they’re the best wrestling promotion in North America. This would include being better than WWE, which is on fire right now.
“For me, I believe in what AEW is doing. I believe in the style. I believe in the genre. I believe it is actually the best wrestling in North America right now. I just want to drive that home. I want to be the guy so I want to just keep doing what I’m doing out here and just hope we can just keep freaking putting out these classic shows, man. The recent Dynamites and Collisions have been f*cking stellar.”
Ospreay has been with AEW on a full-time basis for a year now. Even the top wrestler is surprised by the heights that he has reached thus far in AEW.
“I’ve enjoyed it. I feel like I didn’t realize the heights that I could reach here. It’s just been like a crazy little ride and I feel like there’s so much that I have done and I’ve experienced and I’ve not really digested it really well.
There’s things that I have digested. But I just love the environment. I do love the work ethic that I’m putting in and there’s something about getting your gym bag and going to the gym, and actually putting your gym shoes on and doing it. For me there’s something about that when I have my little bag and I’ve got me backpack, and I get on the airport, and when I get here, there’s a little drive, and there’s a little work ethic that comes out of me.
I’ve got a mission, and I really want to stick to it, and I want to keep driving home. How much AEW is the best wrestling here. I’ve just got that mad work ethic right now.”
