AEW All In 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen

8. Will Ospreay Beats Chris Jericho

Meanwhile, this clash is a little more worrying if you're a regular viewer of Will Ospreay matches. The Brit has shown an ability to slow down more in recent years, but he still loves putting on a speedy stunt show that's akin to typing spotspotspotspotspotspot without gaps; that's not a criticism, by the way. It's Ospreay's style, and nobody does it better.

Will Chris Jericho be able to meet him halfway though? That is the question. It'd be remarkable if the veteran could keep pace, so it'd likely be wise if he had some extended heat sections so breathers are there if needed. Also, and this is perhaps the most important point, Jericho doesn't need to win.

In fact, he shouldn't.

The Canadian doesn't need to win major matches like this in 2023, especially not against workers who will surely offer AEW more throughout the remainder of the year heading into 2024. The smartest play would be giving Ospreay a win and presenting him as a must-see superstar.
