The timing has never been better for Will Ospreay to become AEW World Champion, with 30 days to go till AEW's biggest show of the year.
30 days out from AEW: All In London, where Ospreay comes home to main event inside Wembley Stadium against Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship, and after coming up short on one previous occasion, the timing has never been better.
Ospreay is healthy after being out for almost a year with a neck injury; he has the perfect story and sparring partner going into the event, and he put his stamp on it with a passionate promo Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite.
Wembley Stadium is the perfect place for Ospreay's coronation
In pro wrestling, there are perfect settings for firsts or lasts, whether it be farewells, returns, or even first title wins. There will never be a better setting for Ospreay to finally win the AEW World Championship than in front of a packed Wembley Stadium.
The Aerial Assassin has been on the chase for the World Championship ever since he officially joined AEW from one of their partnered promotions, New Japan Pro Wrestling. Upon his arrival in 2024, he has been a constant feature in the main event picture and has had an exciting first title run with the AEW International Championship.
His shortcomings have been noted, with a world title defeat to Swerve Strickland at Forbidden Door 2024 and in the finals of the Owen Hart Cup at Double Or Nothing when he lost to Hangman Adam Page.
His journey has been well documented, especially given he spent almost a year out with a career-threatening neck injury; needless to say, Ospreay is going into AEW's biggest show of the year with a high level of momentum, having won the 2026 Owen Hart tournament and coming back from a severe injury.
Ospreay has the support of the fans, and the story aligns to serve up his biggest career moment in one of the most famous stadiums in the world.
Kenny Omega is the perfect sparring partner
Omega vs Ospreay for a third time at Wembley is bound to be a match of the year candidate; the two have delivered two incredible matches before their upcoming trilogy match at All: In London.
Ospreay meshes well with Omega, thanks to a similar style in wrestling with their incredible pacing, passion, and intensity, as well as their fantastic counters; the finish to their match at Forbidden Door 2024 is one of the highlights of this long-lasting rivalry, which set the bar high in terms of all-time great AEW matches.
Omega is the perfect opponent for Ospreay's big title match, given much of their history, which includes their previous two matches and Omega being someone Ospreay looked up to as a hero and idolised when the Aerial Assassin was on the rise in NJPW.
Their third match is going to be a bloodied war, filled with nearfalls, heavy shots, thrilling counters and finishers; the bar was raised high with their promo exchange Wednesday night, with Ospreay screaming out his passion during his promo, looking across to Omega on the stage.
Their chemistry is impeccable and just always brings the best out of each other, hence Omega being the perfect sparring partner and arguably Ospreay's greatest rival.
In 30 days, they'll meet in the main event, and Ospreay has the perfect opponent to finally get his moment, winning an AEW World Championship for the first time in his career.
