Will Ospreay looks back on AEW All In.
NJPW star Will Ospreay defeated Chris Jericho in a buzzworthy match at AEW All In at Wembley Stadium on August 27. For Ospreay, competing at such a major show in his home country was an experience he will never forget.
Speaking with Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com, Ospreay reflected on competing at AEW All In.
"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," Ospreay said.
Ospreay then noted that hearing so many fans sing his song was a special moment. He recalled the atmosphere during the match and highlighted the way the crowd chanted during tbe bout. Ospreay then stated that competing at the show was the coolest thing he has ever done.
"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 said.
NJPW confirmed that Ospreay will face Jon Moxley and David Finlay at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18. More information is available here.
Seth Rollins recently responded to Ospreay on social media and told him that the water is warm. More information is available here.
