Will Ospreay has revealed that he and Kenny Omega had to make changes to their planned match during AEW All In London.
At All In London, Will Ospreay captured the AEW World Title from Kenny Omega in a match that has been praised by fans and critics alike. However, the two stars had to find a Plan B after seeing things they had planned being used in matches earlier in the night.
Reflecting on the match in a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Ospreay said the match came together for him when he was able to sit down with Omega and start planning it out.
“It was just wild, just because going into it, I had really no ideas. I had feelings that I wanted to feel, but I didn’t know how to relay that in terms of the match storytelling. It was only when me and Kenny sat down and started talking about stuff, and then we just came together, and it was just like idea, flow and idea, flow.
Only hours before they were set to go out, though, the two had to change things up when they saw spots they had planned being used in other matches. In the end, Ospreay says it worked out better than their original plans.
“Honestly, I’d love to be able to tell you guys that when we were hours from going on, and we found out that some people that did stuff that we wanted to do in our match. So then it put us under even more pressure to try and change things around and try and fit it in within our story. It’s no one’s fault. Things happen. I don’t blame anyone in that situation, but it was just as frustrating as it was. What we came up with, what our plan B was, was way, way, way better. So, I was dead happy with that.”
“I Wanted It To Be Myself And Kenny” – Will Ospreay On AEW All In Main Event
Previously, Will Ospreay has said other main event options were discussed for All In, but he told Chris Van Vliet that he doesn’t think he could have produced the match he did with anyone but Kenny Omega.
“Kind of no. It was maybe two or three matches before. So, we still had time on our hands, but I think a lot of it was just because we were putting so much pressure on ourselves, and we were just worried because obviously when you do these type of shows, you’re always communicating with the other wrestlers. But because it was a stadium, it’s so hard to have that kind of communication with everybody. So naturally, things will happen, and we just had faith that nothing else was going to happen that would have stepped on our toes, and thankfully no one did.
“But man, what we were able to come up with and what we were able to do, I couldn’t have done that with anybody. There were so many other alternative options for that main event than what it could have been. But I knew if this was my moment, I didn’t want to read anybody else’s script. I wanted it to be myself and Kenny. I really wanted that.”
At All Out, Will Ospreay will defend the AEW World Title for the first time against Jon Moxley.
