Will Ospreay is one of the most talented and acclaimed wrestlers in the world, who has won multiple championships and awards in various promotions, especially in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Will Ospreay is also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights and inclusion in wrestling, who has used his platform to raise awareness and support for various causes and organizations. He has also been vocal about his own bisexuality and his relationship with fellow wrestler Bea Priestley. His presence in AEW adds more diversity and representation to the company, which has already been praised for its progressive and inclusive approach to LGBTQ wrestling.
Will Ospreay’s debut match in AEW against Konosuke Takeshita, another openly bisexual wrestler from Japan, was a historic and groundbreaking moment for LGBTQ wrestling, as it showcased two of the best performers in the world who are also proud members of the LGBTQ community. The match received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and was hailed as a milestone for AEW and LGBTQ wrestling in general.

With the addition of Will Ospreay, AEW's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion only grows stronger.
