“I’ve talked to my wife about it”

AEW star Will Ospreay is one of the biggest names in the Jacksonville-based company. He is best known for his time in the independent circuit and New Japan Pro Wrestling. The 32-year-old recently returned to the Japanese promotion at Sakura Genesis on April 4.

Even though Ospreay rarely appears in NJPW now, he is still a member of United Empire. He and Great-O-Khan founded this faction in October 2020. The Aerial Assassin teamed up with Khan and Henare at Sakura Genesis and defeated Yuya Uemura, Taichi, and El Desperado in a captivating six-man tag team match.

Will Ospreay has achieved immense success in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He is a former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, a former two-time IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion, a former IWGP Intercontinental Champion, a three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, and a former NEVER Openweight Champion. Interestingly, he is not done yet.

In a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, the English native said that he wants to participate in G1 Climax again someday. He also wants to hold the fourth-generation IWGP Heavyweight belt. He has discussed all this with his fiancée, Alex Windsor.

“It’s hard to ask Tony Khan this year if I can take about 6 weeks off, but I’ve talked to my wife about it, and I do want to participate in the G1 Climax again someday. I’ve never won it, so I want to try again. Also, the fourth generation IWGP Heavyweight belt, which was revived this year, has been worn by Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, and others, and I’ve always admired them. So I also want that belt.” said Ospreay.

Will Ospreay says that AEW smokes WWE in every field of wrestling

In a 2024 interview with Josh Martinez of the Superstar Crossover Show, Will Ospreay took a huge shot at WWE. He said that AEW smokes the rival promotion in every field of wrestling.

“We smoke ‘em in every field of wrestling, like we’re just better. I respect every single one of them there, they all know what they’re doing, they’re great at their job, they understand getting people on their feet. But we are so much more better of a wrestling company than them,” he said. [H/T: The Sportster]

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Aerial Assassin. Perhaps, he will join WWE someday.
