Professional wrestler Will Ospreay expressed his dedication to a full-time schedule with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
After wrapping up his commitments with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in February, Ospreay officially became a member of the AEW roster. He made an impressive debut at AEW Revolution, where he achieved a notable victory over Konosuke Takeshita.
The AEW Revolution post-show media scrum presented an opportunity for Ospreay to address the role of his United Kingdom residency in his decision to join AEW and describe his anticipated commitments. Fightful provided a valuable transcription of his remarks which can be found here.
“Regarding your question about my schedule—it’s going to be full. I’m in a relationship with Alex Windsor, who’s also in the pro-wrestling industry. We’re now parents, and those responsibilities mean the world to us. Relocating isn’t an option for us given the challenges Alex and our kid are facing. Traveling to Japan was arduous, especially when detours due to the unrest in Russia and Ukraine were necessary. However, working with AEW requires less travel, which suits me better. My goal is to be present each week, pushing myself to deliver the best matches possible,” Ospreay explained.
Ospreay Eager to Compete in AEW
Ospreay also shared his enthusiasm for fitting in with the AEW roster, which he considers the strongest collection of wrestling talent to date. He emphasized his readiness to take on the challenge of competing with the organization’s elite.
“Having preached about the importance of hard work during my time at New Japan, leaving was a difficult choice. AEW, though, feels like the perfect fit. It’s home to the world’s best wrestlers and stands as the most superb roster ever assembled. We are fortunate to be part of this era of wrestling.
“I’m excited to share a locker room with talents such as Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, Takeshita, Sting, and Orange Cassidy. I’m prepared to step into the ring with each and every one of them. I’m ready to get to work,” Ospreay stated with determination.
It has been announced that Ospreay’s next bout will be against Kyle Fletcher on the March 6 episode of AEW Dynamite.
