Will Ospreay to defend AEW World Title against Jon Moxley

Overview

Following Will Ospreay’s victory over Kenny Omega at All In London to become the new AEW World Champion, his reign has faced immediate scrutiny. The championship change occurred at Wembley Stadium in a highly competitive bout that drew significant praise. On the September 2, 2026, broadcast of AEW Dynamite in Allen, Texas, Ospreay addressed the crowd, acknowledging Omega as a peer and expressing his intention to bring the United Empire stable to AEW. His segment was interrupted by Ricochet, while Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors also voiced opposition to Ospreay’s reign. During a chaotic 10-man tag team match involving Ospreay, Andrade El Idolo, and the United Empire against Ricochet, Gabe Kidd, and others, Jon Moxley and the Death Riders intervened to prevent an attack on the champion. This led to the official confirmation that Moxley will challenge Ospreay for the AEW World Championship at the All Out event on September 26 in Chicago. Ospreay recently revealed that he requested the match against Moxley, claiming he has a “calculated game plan” to defeat the Death Riders leader.

Reflecting on his loss, Kenny Omega described the Wembley bout as potentially the “most demanding match of his career.” Speaking at the Tokyo Game Show, Omega acknowledged the physical toll, stating, “It may have been the hardest match of my career,” and noting that his strength is gradually declining with age. Despite the visible damage, Omega clarified that the loss does not signal the end of his career, telling fans, “It is not the end. Please support me for next time too.” He expressed pride in his performance and commended Ospreay on his victory.
