AEW All In 2026 featured Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega in the main event for the AEW World Championship. Ospreay not only won the World Title on this night, but he also kicked out of Omega’s One Winged Angel – a move that has been protected for over a decade.
The Aerial Assassin also got a special entrance for this bout. A video package narrated by Ospreay’s mother was aired before the wrestler walked to the ring.

Will Ospreay Explains His AEW All In Entrance
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Will Ospreay was asked about his All In entrance. Ospreay said that Mike Mansury, one of AEW’s lead producers, helped come up with it. The wrestler himself had wanted his mother to do a voiceover entrance for him, like his wife, Alex Windsor, did last year at AEW Forbidden Door.
“It was obviously helped a lot. Mike Mansury, he’s one of the lead producers for AEW, so he helped come up with it. But my whole thing was I remember last year at Forbidden Door when I went in the steel cage match, and I was trying to think of a real cool entrance for that. I was just like, I’d love it if I could do something there. But I had no idea that Al [Alex Windsor] put down a voiceover for that entrance. It stuck with me because it was scary going into a steel cage match, knowing that I needed neck surgery, and I was just so worried. I kept a real straight face with people, and I was confident in a lot of the things that I was doing in there, but then hearing Al’s voice come through- the line that got me was, ‘If you’re not afraid of what’s next, neither am I.’ It hit me so hard. It made me just feel like I could run through a wall. Then to have that feeling, I was just kind of like, I want my mum to do my next one, just because my mum has seen me grow up through a TV screen.”
Will Ospreay later said that he wanted to show his mother how much she meant to him by doing the voiceover for his entrance.
“When I was 22 years old, I got signed to New Japan, and although I kept coming back to England, and I get those tours, but a lot of it was like downtime and rest because I was so battered and hurt. I think it was just one of these things where I’d love to show my mum how much she really meant to me, and I’d love to have had her do the voiceover for one of the biggest nights of my life.”
Later, Ospreay said that when he asked his mother to do the voiceover, he also told her that he didn’t want to hear it until the night of the event. When he did hear it, he asked her to make some changes.
“So I heard it the night of, and there were elements of it where I was kind of like, okay. My mom’s very theater, so she very much pronounces everything that she says, and she treats it like a town hall meeting, and I had to try and tell her, ‘Hey, just rein it back a little bit. I don’t want you talking to everybody. You’re not at town hall. You’re talking to your son.’ She did it again. It was spot on, perfect.”
Will Ospreay Will Defend His Title Against Jon Moxley At AEW All Out
On the next AEW Dynamite after his title win, Will Ospreay got a new challenger for his belt. The Death Riders’ leader Jon Moxley is set to battle him in a title match at September’s All Out pay-per-view. Moxley played a huge role in Ospreay’s growth this year on-screen with his mentorship.
Moxley has been the only wrestler in 2026 to defeat Will Ospreay by pinfall. Do you think Ospreay will manage to beat him finally at AEW All Out?
