Will Ospreay Dethrones Kenny Omega for AEW World Title at Wembley

Will Ospreay is the new AEW World Champion after defeating Kenny Omega in the main event of All In: London at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 30. The victory makes Ospreay the first British-born male wrestler to win a world championship on home soil in the United Kingdom.

The match ran nearly 35 minutes and delivered on every bit of the history between the two former Bullet Club stablemates. Omega kicked out of Ospreay’s finisher earlier in the bout — no, it was Ospreay who survived a One-Winged Angel — and both men were left bloodied by the closing stretch. Ospreay ultimately ended it with a Hidden Blade, pinning Omega for the three-count and setting off a full-blown celebration inside the sold-out stadium.

The aftermath was as emotional as the match itself. A blood-soaked Ospreay went down in a heap once the bell rang, overcome by the moment, before briefly clasping hands with Omega in a show of mutual respect. Pyro lit up Wembley as Ospreay stood tall with the AEW World Championship to close out All In: London.

This marks Ospreay’s first reign with AEW’s top title, adding to a resume that already includes two runs as AEW International Champion. It’s also his second title win at Wembley Stadium specifically — he took the AEW International Championship from MJF at All In 2024 on the same stage two years earlier. With this win, Ospreay becomes the 11th wrestler in AEW history to hold the World Championship, and the first born outside North America to do so.

For a promotion built in part on the idea of showcasing the best wrestlers from around the globe on the biggest stages, it’s hard to imagine a more fitting capstone than Ospreay winning the top prize in his home country, in front of a Wembley crowd, against the man many consider his defining rival. The Omega-Ospreay series has been one of the most acclaimed in modern wrestling, stretching back to their New Japan days, and this result gives it a new signature chapter — with Omega falling just short of reclaiming the title he once held.

What comes next for both men is the obvious question. Omega has been a fixture at or near the top of AEW’s title picture for years, and a program like this rarely ends with just one match. For Ospreay, the challenge shifts to proving he can hold onto the AEW World Championship the way he’s held onto momentum since arriving in AEW — as arguably the most in-demand in-ring performer in the promotion. Whoever steps up first to challenge him will be stepping into a spotlight that just got a lot brighter.

Either way, All In: London delivered the kind of moment wrestling fans will be talking about for a long time — and Will Ospreay has the gold to prove it.
