Will Ospreay Reveals Why He’s Staying in the UK Despite Working for AEW

Will Ospreay may be one of the biggest stars in AEW, but don’t expect him to relocate to the United States anytime soon. Despite AEW being primarily a US-based company, Ospreay says he’s perfectly content staying in the UK, where he’s built a life for himself and his family.

During his recent interview with Josh Martinez on Z100’s Superstar Crossover, Ospreay explained why he’s sticking to the UK, even though the constant travel is exhausting. Martinez noted the time difference between them during the interview, saying, “Yeah, mate. I’m here now. So, okay. So, we’ll time stamp this real quick. It is currently 4:33 in New York City where I am. And you are what time?”

Ospreay then broke down his typical travel routine, highlighting the toll it takes. “I’ll go to bed after this. I’ll wake up at about 5:30 in the morning. I’ll get me an hour and 20 Uber over to Heathrow. I’ll sit on a plane for about 7 to 8 hours. I’ll land. I’ll clear customs. I’ll have to get me bag. I’ll go over. I’ll get picked up. Go straight to the arena. Uh I’ll shower in one of the locker rooms. Make myself smell pretty and then get on with the show,” he said.

Despite the grueling travel schedule, Ospreay says the decision to stay in the UK is all about family. “Family like staying here. And I’ve made up such a little life. Like my kid’s doing well at school. Like I’m just I’m happy. I don’t really have any aspiration of moving over,” he added.

When asked if there was any US city he’d consider moving to, Ospreay made it clear that he’s not interested. “I don’t know. Like I mean, it’s all circumstance because I do I want to go somewhere that’s hot, less Orlando, but I just don’t want to be in here any of the other people that live in Orlando. I just I quite enjoy that type of space between us. I like seeing you every now and again. Like if I’m over at a Disney park and you come over and say hello. All right, I say hello, but I want to get back to Disney,” he said.

Ospreay’s stance on staying in the UK comes after he recently took aim at WWE, claiming that AEW smokes WWE in every field of wrestling. With AEW’s upcoming All In: Texas going head-to-head with WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Ospreay’s words are only adding more fuel to the fire.
