Will Ospreay is confirmed for AEW: All In at Wembley Stadium. At Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, the British star defeated Swerve Strickland to win the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament.

With the win, Ospreay secured an AEW World Championship match at AEW All In: London, which is set for August 30 at Wembley Stadium in London.

The match was one of the most violent of the night, with both men finishing heavily bloodied.

The bout featured several momentum swings and near falls for both sides. Down the stretch, Jon Moxley and the Death Riders surprisingly appeared at ringside, not to interfere, but to encourage Ospreay.

Ospreay responded with that support behind him, hitting a Paradigm Shift and a Death Rider DDT before finishing Swerve with a Tiger Driver to secure the win.

The victory capped off a tournament run that began at Double or Nothing, where Ospreay defeated Samoa Joe in the first round. Swerve, meanwhile, had advanced by beating Bandido as he continued trying to return to the top of AEW after losing the World Championship to Bryan Danielson at All In 2024.

Now, Ospreay will have a chance to capture AEW’s top title in his home country.
