Will Ospreay Says He’s 'Dreading' Wembley Main Event With Kenny Omega

Ospreay calls the Aug. 30 AEW All In match the defining moment of his career and positions it as proof that AEW can put non‑WWE stars on the sport’s biggest stages.

Overview

  • Ospreay and reigning AEW World Champion Kenny Omega are confirmed to headline AEW All In at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 30.
  • Ospreay told interviewers he is “dreading” the match and described it as “my career” and “my life's work,” saying the nerves feel different because of the match’s size and meaning.
  • He reiterated that he has “never been a WWE guy,” said he has not been backstage at WWE, and credited ECW, TNA, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Dragon Gate and New Japan as the sources of his style and inspiration.
  • Ospreay recalled being at Wembley during the 2023 CM PunkJack Perry backstage confrontation, saying he first thought it was a promo and later learned the incident led to Punk’s firing.
  • With ticket sales reported near 42,000 compared with AEW’s 46,000 mark in 2024, the match will serve as both a personal milestone for Ospreay and a commercial test of AEW’s continued ability to draw large crowds at Wembley.
