Will Ospreay looks back on the incredible AEW All In PPV back in August.
On the show, Will Ospreay arguably got the biggest reaction of the night for his entrance at Wembley Stadium in his homeland. Even with Don Callis by his side, the crowd were unwavering in their support for The Aerial Assassin.
Ospreay would face off with Chris Jericho at the event, defeating the former AEW World Champion.
Speaking with Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com, Ospreay discussed All In, reflecting on the historic night back in August.
“Oh man, I was scared. I just remember feeling like I’ve done it now. The maximum I’ve ever performed in front of was 40,000 at [NJPW] Wrestle Kingdom. This was twice as many. I was worried that my stuff was going to get lost, or not as big of a reaction as what it could get. Maybe I’m not the guy that they really want in this position. Maybe it should have gone to someone else. That’s all going through my mind. The moment the music was playing, just that bit of the piano, I could just feel my heart coming out of my chest. So flipping scared. Family’s here. Everyone is here just wanting to just enjoy wrestling in England, wrestling of this caliber and stage,”
“Going out and hearing people sing my song… man. I literally heard people screaming it and then pointing up to the sky and when the fireworks were going off. Just watching it, it felt like two minutes. It felt like everything was going in slow motion.Then to get in the ring and the bell rung and then just 80,000 people do the olé! chants. Oh man, it was just the coolest thing. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done,”

Ospreay has not featured in AEW since All In, but with his upcoming free agency, he could be on his way back to the promotion.
Alternatively, he could head to WWE, as the company will be after his signature also.
