Pro-wrestling sensation Will Ospreay has his eyes on a longstanding future with AEW, envisioning a two-decade tenure with the brand.
Emanating from his prominent presence in NJPW, Will Ospreay has further solidified his reputation as a premier figure in wrestling. Fully integrating into AEW by March 2024, Ospreay clinched the AEW International Championship at the AEW Double or Nothing event.
In conversation with Justin Walker, Will Ospreay pondered over his outlook with AEW, expressing his desire to remain with the organization for the foreseeable future.

Ospreay elaborated, “You saw it right off the bat—there’s a unique atmosphere here that sets it apart,” he said. “We’re always evolving with the times, striving to outdo our previous year’s success. Right now, this roster is second to none—the most elite collection we’ve ever had. Five years into the company’s lifespan, we’re still navigating its growth, but these challenges are ours to conquer.
“What will the landscape be like in a decade, in 15, in 20 years? That’s the timeline I envision for my journey with this organization. Still youthful and vigorous, I truly believe I can match Copeland’s feat and grapple my way to 50. I’m looking great, aren’t I?”
As the reigning AEW International Champion, Will Ospreay is set to battle Rey Fenix for the title on the June 11 broadcast of AEW Dynamite. WrestleZone will deliver live updates throughout the event.
