Will Ospreay Reveals Why He & Kenny Omega Had to Make Last-Minute Changes to Their All In Match

Will Ospreay recently opened up about his match with Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship at All In: London. Ospreay challenged The Cleaner for the AEW World Title in front of his home fans at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, last month. The iconic match ended with Ospreay capturing the company’s top title for the first time in his career.

During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Will Ospreay opened up about the last-minute changes he and Omega had to come up with after “some people did stuff” that they wanted to do in their match. He also revealed whether the match lived up to his expectations. Below are the highlights:

Will Ospreay on Whether the Match Lived Up to His Expectations

“Yeah, so much, man. It was just wild, just because going into it, I had really no ideas. I had feelings that I wanted to feel, but I didn’t know how to relay that in terms of the match storytelling. It was only when me and Kenny sat down and started talking about stuff, and then we just came together, and it was just like idea, flow and idea, flow. Honestly, I’d love to be able to tell you guys that when we were hours from going on, and we found out that some people that did stuff that we wanted to do in our match. So then it put us under even more pressure to try and change things around and try and fit it in within our story. It’s no one’s fault. Things happen. I don’t blame anyone in that situation, but it was just as frustrating as it was. What we came up with, what our plan B was, was way, way, way better. So, I was dead happy with that.”

On Whether He Mapped Out the Match With Kenny Omega Beforehand

“Kind of no. It was maybe two or three matches before. So, we still had time on our hands, but I think a lot of it was just because we were putting so much pressure on ourselves, and we were just worried because obviously when you do these types of shows, you’re always communicating with the other wrestlers. But because it was a stadium, it’s so hard to have that kind of communication with everybody. So naturally, things will happen, and we just had faith that nothing else was going to happen that would have stepped on our toes, and thankfully no one did. But man, what we were able to come up with and what we were able to do, I couldn’t have done that with anybody. There were so many other alternative options for that main event than what it could have been. But I knew if this was my moment, I didn’t want to read anybody else’s script. I wanted it to be myself and Kenny. I really wanted that.”
