The newly-crowned AEW International Champion Will Ospreay pulled off an epic Assassin’s Creed-inspired entrance at AEW All In London. He has thanked Roger Craig Smith, who is the voice of Ezio in the Assassin’s Creed game.
Ezio had a message as part of Will Ospreay’s entrance at the pay-per-view at Wembley. A video package having Ezio’s message along with Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Will Ospreay’s highlights was played.
Roger Craig Smith, the popular voice actor thanked AEW and Ubisoft after they partnered to promote the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. He said that he was honored to be a part of such an epic moment at AEW All In London. ‘The Aerial Assassin’ thanked Smith and explained how he had a huge role to play in his career.
You have no idea how much your role in Assassins Creed played a huge impact in my career.
Thank you so much for being part of the biggest night of my life.
This isn’t the first time Ospreay pulled off such an entrance. He previously paid tribute to Assassin’s Creed with a themed entrance at the Wrestle Kingdom 18 event earlier this year.
It is well-documented that Will Ospreay’s gimmick is heavily inspired by the Assassin’s Creed franchise and it is evident from his entrance attire, nickname and his signature moves.
For his homecoming, Will Ospreay decided to channel his inner Assassin’s Creed character and walked out to a spectacular entrance at All In London. Will Ospreay donned an Assassin’s Creed-inspired red, black, and gold robe with two banners that marked the game’s November 15 release date. The entrance also featured several ninjas performing stunts while wearing Assassin’s Creed hoodies.
Following the entrance, Ospreay competed in an incredible match and defeated MJF. He then finally reinstated the AEW International Championship much to the fans’ delight at Wembley Stadium.

Top 25 Wrestling Podcasts
Here are the top 25 most-listened to pro wrestling podcasts on Apple Podcasts, this Monday, August 26, 2024:
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is not yet done with her ‘Revenge Tour’.
She told TMZ Sports that there’s still some gas left in the tank and she is not willing to put an end to the ‘tour’. While Morgan initially said that her Revenge Tour is complete, she admitted that she’s thought over the idea again. She has some more ideas in mind with the ‘Revenge Tour.’
“Right now, I don’t think it’s over ’cause I still think I have a little gas left in the tank,” she said.
Morgan launched her Revenge Tour after she returned in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match and had her sights set on then-Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, who took her out of action.
Liv Morgan managed to seek revenge on ‘The Eradicator’ after sidelining the latter with an attack. Morgan had been trying to steal everything from Ripley, including Dominik Mysterio. Liv Morgan had earlier captured the Women’s World title and after pursuing ‘Dirty Dom’ for weeks, Morgan got what she wanted. She managed to ‘steal’ Dominik Mysterio from Ripley.
More has come to light about Bryan Danielson’s AEW Word Championship victory that closed out AEW All In: London 2024. Danielson won the gold from Swerve Strickland inside Wembley Stadium in a match that also saw Danielson’s career on the line. After the match, the American Dragon celebrated in the ring with his wife Brie, and their children.
YES! YES! YES! #ANDNEW#AEW World Champion! "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson!
Danielson had “often and actively” pushed against the idea of becoming AEW World Champion, Fightful Select reports, but ultimately accepted the honor at the insistence of Tony Khan. The AEW President was said to be adamant on Danislon winning the world title eventually and wanted the win to be at All In: London.
The decision for Danielson to face Strickland was made at least by April, despite speculation among fans that Will Ospreay would be headlining All In instead. A source told Fightful that Ospreay would have chances to headline the show for years to come, while Danielson has made clear his career is coming to an end.
There were jokes of a “reverse Montreal Screwjob” taking place, that would ensure Danielson won the match even if he didn’t want to. Fightful’s report adds that Danielson has been working banged up in recent months.
What’s to Come?
Bryan Danielson is AEW World Champion but there are still questions about how long he’ll hold the gold. Bryan has said that he expects to have neck surgery later this year which would of course affect his title reign. On the post-show media scrum, Danielson said he hasn’t planned for the future but will be at this week’s AEW Dynamite in Champaign, Illinois.
Should he remain champion, Danielson will face Darby Allin at Grand Slam: Dynamite next month, amid reports of a World title run for the challenger. Danielson will also have to keep an eye out for Christian Cage. The self-professed great-father won the Casino Gauntlet at All In: London, earning himself an AEW World Title match at a time of his choosing.
Tony Khan is pleased that things are easier backstage these days in AEW, compared to the era of the company when CM Punk was around. Speaking on the AEW All In: London 2024 post-show media scrum, Khan shared that dealing with the AEW roster, especially those who are regulars on Collision, is proving to be a far easier task now compared to 365 days ago.
“I think it’s a lot easier flow between the two shows than it was a year ago. I think the locker room is in a much better place than it was a year ago, as evidenced by when we came up here versus what happened a year ago. And I think it’s a much easier job I have dealing. Because I had to deal with the people on Collision last year and it’s a much easier meeting process to put the TV together than it was a year ago at this time too.”
The ‘what happened a year ago’ Khan is referencing is the infamous backstage altercation at All In: London 2023 between CM Punk and Jack Perry. Rather than celebrate last year’s event, which remains AEW’s highest-attended show, Khan started the 2023 media scrum by addressing the backstage drama and made clear that he would not be taking questions on the matter.
AEW Collision was launched, in part, to keep Punk and The Elite separate, a necessary side-effect of Punk’s previous backstage drama from AEW All Out 2022. The Chicago-Made star was supposed to be the ‘face’ of the show, which has managed without him following his termination from AEW in September 2023.
Though he didn’t leave Wembley with an opportunity at the AEW World Championship, he did kick-off his first feud in the promotion. Backstage, Don Callis spoke about the arrival of Ricochet, who he plans to ‘feed’ to his family member Kyle Fletcher. Callis threw out the challenge to Ricochet to face Fletcher on Dynamite, and Fletcher agreed to ‘crush’ the dreams of fans excited to see the ex-WWE star.
When Ricochet told the two to shut up, Fletcher referred to Ricochet having a ‘sabbatical’ from wrestling. When Fletcher went even further, making reference to Ricochet’s time with WWE Speed, the inaugural Speed Champion questioned why his time with the X-exclusive show was seen as a bad thing.
Wait…why is being a CHAMPION a bad thing??
Plus, I hate to say it but more people watch those matches than one of yours. But don't worry, I'll change that for you. https://t.co/qFdiGNpbVx
The match with Fletcher will be Ricochet’s first singles match since the July 7, 2024 taping of WWE Speed, where he lost the show’s title to current champion Andrade. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest on Ricochet now that the One & Only is officially an AEW All-Elite talent.
Photographer Lee South captured these incredible photos of Bryan Danielson’s historic AEW World Championship victory at AEW All In London on Sunday, August 25, 2024 from Wembley Stadium:

Dory Funk Jr. really knew how to honor his late brother Terry Funk by following in his footsteps at the age of 83.
The legendary Terry Funk passed away one year ago on August 23 and his older brother Dory decided to step into the deathmatch realm against a longtime Terry rival in Atsushi Onita. Terry Funk and Onita had a very memorable match back in 1993 as the two battled in an exploding ring match, a battle that was historically violent and memorable.
Dory Funk decided to tip his cowboy hat in honor of his brother by doing just that this weekend as he teamed up with an old rival of his own in Osamu Nishimura to face Onita and Raijin Yaguchi in a Double Hell Current Explosion Death Match.
Thankfully, the “death” aspect didn’t live up to its name but the “explosion” most definitely did on Dory’s end. Ontia managed to whack the former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion with an exploding baseball bat during the battle, but it wasn’t enough to keep Funk down as his team ended up getting the victory at the Terry Funk Memorial & Atsushi Onita 50th Anniversary show.
Dory Funk, Jr. ended up taking a exploding bat shot from Onita during the match but was able to get the win with a spinning toe hold over Yaguchi. Both Dory and Nishimura seemed to be fine after the match. pic.twitter.com/HqmHzWGygi
Before this fight, Dory’s last in-ring match took place five years ago against the aforementioned Nishimura in a ten-minute draw.
However, Dory Funk Jr. made history in the world of pro wrestling as he became the oldest wrestler to ever have a match while paying tribute to his baby brother Terry.
Mercedes Mone successfully defended her TBS Championship against Britt Baker tonight from Wembley Stadium at AEW All In.
Mone was the odds on favorite to win the match before the PPV went live, and she managed to get the dub in her first Wembley Stadium match for All Elite Wrestling.
Can the back of Britt Baker stay strong enough to capture the victory?!
Mone took the win after hitting her Mone Maker on Baker in a decent back and forth match.
Kamille got ejected from the ringside area partway through the match after Baker pulled an Eddie Guerrero fake on her.

In a recent interview with Fightful, Mariah May hinted at her unique plans for celebrating a potential victory over Toni Storm. Drawing inspiration from Shawn Michaels’ iconic Playgirl photoshoot and Mandy Rose’s NXT Women’s Championship celebration, May teased that she might celebrate her win with “no bikini.”
A New Chapter for Mariah May
If Mariah May emerges victorious at AEW All In, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter in her wrestling career. Not only would she claim the title of AEW Women’s World Champion, but she would also solidify her status as one of the most daring and entertaining talents in the industry.
As AEW All In approaches, speculation about potential signings and matchups is at an all-time high. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest rumors surrounding the event.
Michael Oku
One of the hottest topics is the possible signing of Michael Oku, a standout talent from the British wrestling scene.
Oku, who currently holds the Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship at Revolution Pro, has been rumored to be in talks with AEW.
Although Oku expressed excitement about the rumors during a recent podcast interview, he confirmed that no deal is currently in place.
Oku hinted at the possibility of performing at Wembley Stadium, a dream for many wrestlers, but remained non-committal about any concrete plans with AEW.
The Young Bucks’ Cryptic Message
Adding fuel to the fire, The Young Bucks recently sent out a cryptic message on social media. The Bucks noted on the bio for their X account that they are: “Engagement farming feed. You either hate us, or you really hate us. Full-time part-timers. Could’ve retired after our ROH run. Your EVPs.”
Whether this feeds into their match at All In remains to be seen, but they are set to face FTR and The Acclaimed.
Ricochet and Shane McMahon
Former WWE Superstar Ricochet and Shane McMahon are also two names that are being rumored heavily for the event.
Although Ricochet seems almost like a dead cert, possibly appearing after the Ospreay vs MJF match, McMahon feels way more unlikely.
Biggest Week in AEW History
Tony Khan has also teased that this will be the “biggest week” in company history, noting the following on his X account:
Thank you all who watch AEW!
This is the biggest week in AEW's history, starting with the first ever Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite outside of North America less than 48 hours away in Cardiff, + it culminates in our biggest event #AEWAllIn London ppv @wembleystadium this Sunday!
AEW All In, set to take place at Wembley Stadium, is expected to be a landmark event with potential surprise appearances, especially in the Casino Battle Royale match.
