Will Ospreay Discusses Character Development Following AEW Death Riders Storyline

Will Ospreay has shared insights into how his storyline with the Death Riders has influenced his character in AEW. This development followed an incident at Forbidden Door 2025 in London, where he was attacked by Jon Moxley’s faction, resulting in a neck injury that sidelined him until March 2026.

Upon his return, Ospreay initially aligned with the Death Riders but later faced a pivotal moment during AEW Redemption when he refused to harm Kenny Omega. In a recent interview, he noted that the storyline has added an edge to his character, shifting his mindset from hesitation to a focus on revenge after his injury.

Ospreay expressed that the experience has allowed him to explore new dimensions of his character, shedding previous doubts and embracing a more aggressive approach. He is now preparing to challenge Omega for the AEW World Championship at All In, aiming to secure a title that would enhance his already impressive list of wrestling achievements.
