Will Ospreay Claims AEW Is The Best Wrestling in North America

Will Ospreay isn’t holding back when it comes to his thoughts on where AEW stands in the wrestling world.

The high-flying British star, who officially signed with AEW at Full Gear 2023, believes the company is producing the best wrestling in the United States.

“I believe in what AEW is doing. I believe in the style. I believe in the genre. I believe it is the best wrestling in North America right now,” Ospreay said while speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

He didn’t just stop there, adding, “I just want to drive that home. I want to be the guy. I want to keep doing what I’m doing out here and hope we can keep putting out these classic shows.”

When asked why he specifically said “North America” instead of the whole world, Ospreay pointed to WWE’s approach. “Michael Cole said they are more sports orientated and storytelling. That’s fair. That’s more than fair. We’re more professional wrestling based. That’s great. He’s the voice of WWE for how long? [30 years]. That’s the reason they’re doing so well. They’re telling their awesome stories, and that’s great for them, but we’re doing great stuff as well.”

Ospreay made it clear that while he respects what WWE is doing, his loyalty lies with AEW. “It’s so good that both of us are doing great things. Everyone in North America that has any sort of TV is doing really well and putting out great content. Wrestling is sick right now.”

Ospreay isn’t just talking—he’s putting on show-stealing performances every time he steps in the ring. Whether fans agree with him or not, one thing is clear: he’s all in on AEW, and he’s determined to prove why it deserves to be called the best wrestling company in North America. Now, the question is—will AEW continue to back up his claim, or does WWE still run the show?
