Why Wembley Stadium matters to Will Ospreay
Wembley Stadium is England's iconic sports and entertainment venue, where generations of dreams have been realized.
Ospreay has spent his career kicking down doors that once felt impossible to open.
He's hungry and more motivated than ever to reach the top of the mountain.
What happened to Will Ospreay last year?
Ospreay fell just short in the Owen Hart Cup Tournament final against "Hangman" Adam Page.
He then underwent neck surgery, sidelining him for nearly six months.
Ospreay returned to the ring, but stumbled into a program with the Death Riders after suffering an unexpected loss at the hands of Jon Moxley.
He ultimately aligned himself with the group, allowing for a slower climb.
"I just want to feel the breath come out of the audience, I want to feel the arena change temperature," Ospreay says.
He's focused on giving the best performance physically possible.
The AEW World Championship is the prize, but the main event at Wembley is the dream.
Ospreay is ready to put it all on the line to achieve his goal.
"I've enjoyed being in that locker room with those guys because I feel like I've leveled up my game," Ospreay says.
He's created small bonds within the group and is ready for the challenge ahead.
