Will Ospreay: AEW Dynasty proved I’m ‘still one of the best wrestlers in the world’
Will Ospreay wanted to reassure fans that he is still one of the best wrestlers in the world at AEW Dynasty.
Ospreay lost a Continental Championship match to Jon Moxley at the April 12 pay-per-view in Vancouver. The match lasted just over 18 minutes and was rated 4.75 stars by our own Dave Meltzer. It was Ospreay’s first pay-per-view match since Forbidden Door 2025 and the neck surgery he underwent following that event.
Ospreay recently told The Sportster that he is still adjusting to his “new neck,” but has been able to do all the moves he was doing before surgery.
Ospreay said:
“I set such a high volume of pay-per-view standard and pay-per-view quality matches before I got hurt. I wanted to come back and still be able to reassure people that pay-per-view Billy Goat is still one of the best wrestlers in the world.
And undeniably, I feel like I proved it once again.
It’s super scary because it still doesn’t feel like my head. I’m still like getting used to like this new neck that I’ve got now. So, it is a test, but so far I feel like I’ve been able to do all the old things that I did beforehand.”
Ospreay was also asked about the possibility of facing Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship at All In this summer. Ospreay said he is unsure whether he will be entered into this year’s Owen Hart Cup, but noted that winning the AEW World Championship at Wembley Stadium would be something he could look back on and be proud of.
“I could never imagine what Wembley Stadium would look like and now I’ve been in there and I felt winning a championship in that venue. To win the most coveted prize in all pro wrestling, I think honestly it would just be one of these moments where like I finally did something cool in my life that I could actually look back on and be proud about.”
Up next for Ospreay is tonight’s episode of Dynamite. He is scheduled to wrestle Mark Davis on the show. Ospreay’s full interview with TheSportster is available below:
