5 Wrestlers Who Could Join The Teased New AEW SUPER Stable

2. Will Ospreay

Will Ospreay is one of the best wrestlers alive.

Able to intersect spectacle and physicality seamlessly, a man with suspect behavioural issues and a less than spotless past who is able to enter all-time great babyface performances nonetheless, he's so disgustingly good that it's unfair.

Aligning with Don Callis - in a development that has been heavily teased on AEW television and on Twitter, since Don's bio has read "King of Winnipeg bruv" for some time now - makes some kind of awful sense. Callis has essentially offered his "hand" already, at Forbidden Door, but Will's availability makes this less obvious.

Will Ospreay is contracted to New Japan Pro Wrestling, per the man himself, until February 2024. Through AEW's working relationship with NJPW, he is available to work matches in the US, and has done sporadically beyond Forbidden Door season - but for a lengthy stable war storyline, the numbers have to be right. The heels if anything must possess the advantage. Was the scrapped Ospreay Vs. Konoksuke Takeshita match at ROH Supercard Of Honour to have ended in a suspicious post-match handshake overseen by Callis?

Has this been in the works for a long time?

Ospreay could fly over more regularly, but that seems ambitious. AEW as some fans know all too well does not mind waiting to finish its stories; at this rate, Keith Lee Vs. Swerve Strickland will take place in 2025.

Failing that...
