Watch AEW All In live on DAZN - Sunday
Will Ospreay has wrestled around the world, won championships in Japan and established himself as one of the biggest stars in AEW – but on Sunday, he has the opportunity to achieve something special on home soil.
The British star will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship in the main event of AEW All In at Wembley Stadium.
It is a match years in the making between two men who have already produced some memorable encounters, but for Ospreay, the stakes go beyond another chapter in their rivalry.
The 33-year-old has made no secret of his ambition to become a world champion in front of his home crowd, and victory at Wembley would represent the biggest moment of his career.
But who is Will Ospreay and how did the Englishman become one of professional wrestling's biggest stars?
Who is Will Ospreay?
Will Ospreay is an English professional wrestler who has become one of the most acclaimed performers of his generation.
Born in Havering, London, Ospreay began his wrestling career in Britain before his high-flying style helped him attract attention around the world.
His performances eventually took him to Japan, where he became one of the leading international stars in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Ospreay initially made his name as a junior heavyweight but transformed himself into a heavyweight contender as his career progressed, allowing him to compete against some of the biggest names in Japanese wrestling.
His success in Japan ultimately helped establish Ospreay as a global star before he made AEW his permanent home.
What championships has Will Ospreay won?
Ospreay built an impressive collection of championships during his time in Japan.
He became IWGP World Heavyweight Champion in 2021, reaching the top of NJPW after previously winning titles including the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship and NEVER Openweight Championship.
He also won the prestigious Best of the Super Juniors tournament on multiple occasions and became the leader of the United Empire faction.
Ospreay later joined AEW full-time in 2024 and quickly added more gold to his collection.
He defeated Roderick Strong to win the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing before losing the title to MJF.
Ospreay reclaimed the championship from MJF at Wembley Stadium at All In 2024, producing one of the defining moments of his early AEW career in front of his home crowd.

Ospreay is no stranger to performing under the famous Wembley arch.
He made his first AEW All In appearance at Wembley in 2023, defeating Chris Jericho in one of the biggest matches of his career at the time.
A year later, Ospreay returned to Wembley to challenge MJF for the AEW International Championship.
With Daniel Garcia preventing MJF from using the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Ospreay hit the Tiger Driver 91 before finishing his opponent with the Hidden Blade to reclaim the title.
All In 2026, however, offers something neither of those victories could provide.
Ospreay now has the chance to leave Wembley as AEW World Champion.
Who is Will Ospreay facing at AEW All In 2026?
Ospreay will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship in the main event of All In 2026.
The pair's rivalry stretches back years, with Ospreay once looking up to Omega as one of the wrestlers who inspired him to reach the top of the industry.
They first met in a singles match in 2015 before their rivalry exploded on the biggest stages in Japan.
Omega defeated Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom 17 in 2023, before Ospreay earned his revenge at Forbidden Door later that year.
They now meet again with AEW's biggest prize at stake.
Ospreay has described Omega as his hero but has also made clear that he is no longer content with being second best.
The road to Wembley has only increased the tension between them, with Omega putting Ospreay through a table with a One-Winged Angel on Dynamite less than two weeks before All In.
For Ospreay, the objective is now simple: defeat one of the wrestlers who inspired his career and become AEW World Champion in his home country.
