Will Ospreay has ascended to the top of All Elite Wrestling, defeating Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship at the All In event held at Wembley Stadium in London on Aug. 30, 2026. Ospreay's victory marks a historic moment, as he becomes the first English wrestler to win a world championship in his home country.
The championship bout was a highly anticipated clash, drawing on the history between Ospreay and Omega from their previous encounters in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The match saw both competitors endure significant punishment.
Omega initially gained the upper hand, using a TV monitor to draw blood from Ospreay and executing a powerbomb through a table. However, Ospreay rallied, delivering a Hidden Blade that also opened up Omega. The contest continued with both wrestlers exchanging powerful moves and near-falls. Omega attempted his signature One-Winged Angel finisher, but Ospreay managed to counter it and subsequently hit his own Tiger Driver on Omega. The crowd erupted with chants of "This is awesome!" as the exhausted competitors struggled to regain their footing.
Despite Omega's efforts, including multiple V-Trigger attacks, Ospreay proved resilient. After a final Hidden Blade, Ospreay secured the pinfall to win the championship.
Following the declaration of Ospreay as the new champion, he was overcome with emotion, celebrating his significant career achievement in front of his home crowd.
