Will Ospreay looks to bring gold home to the UK at AEW All In London 2024
  • AEW returns to Wembley Stadium this weekend with the 2024 edition of All In
  • It marks the return to Wembley for UK wrestler Will Ospreay, as he challenges MJF for the AEW American Championship
  • Alex Nelson and Benjamin Jackson make their predictions, but who do the bookmakers think is walking out with the belt?

It is the homecoming many wrestling fans have been waiting for since he signed a full time contract with AEW; but come Sunday August 25, Will Ospreay is coming home. 

The beloved wrestler, known for his work with New Japan Pro Wrestling and in the BritWres scene, primarily with Rev Pro and previously Progress, is carrying the weight of the United Kingdom on his shoulders as he takes on current AEW American Champion MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman.)

Things should have been a lot different coming into this match; Ospreay was the reigning AEW International Champion until losing in the dying moments of his 60 minute time limit match with MJF on an episode of AEW Dynamite

Since then, MJF has taken it upon himself to extol the virtues of why the United States is the greatest country in the world and even went to the extreme of rechristening the newly won belt as the AEW American Championship - to top off the newfound jingoistic nature of his character. 

Say what you might about professional wrestling being “real” or “not,” given how loud audiences can get at live events such as AEW All In, you can no doubt expect a bit of a football game atmosphere at Wembley Stadium, along with choruses of “Ospreay, Ospreay,” and some other not safe for work football chants hurled towards MJF.

So who do we think will win the match between hometown hero Will Ospreay and formerly “our scumbag” MJF? Let’s take a look at the tale of the tape and find out a little more about both wrestlers firstly.

Who is Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF?)
