AEW star Will Ospreay has taken to social media to reveal his insane travel schedule for 2025 so far.

Taking to X, the Aerial Assassin detailed how, by the midpoint of the year, he's already taken 68 flights and spent a ridiculous total of 397 hours and 22 minutes on airplanes.

Of course, Ospreay still resides in the UK, meaning the former International Champion flies to the United States most weeks for AEW programming and PPVs.

Up next for the Brit, he and Swerve Strickland have been announced to take on Dralistico and the Beast Mortos on tonight's Dynamite 300. And while it's yet to be made official, it appears that Will and Swerve will be facing the Young Bucks at All In later this month, with Ospreay and Strickland having laid down the challenge to the Jacksons on last week's Dynamite, complete with attempting to get Matthew and Nicholas to put their EVP titles on the line in Texas on 12 July.

Will Ospreay Putting In The Grind

While WWE had notable interest in Will Ospreay once it became clear he was exiting New Japan Pro-Wrestling back in early 2024, it was ultimately AEW that Ospreay opted to sign with.

Now, at that time, certain comments were made about Will and "the grind", or more specifically, the implication that Ospreay was afraid of "the grind" that it takes to work the standard WWE schedule.

For a WWE talent, there's live Raw and SmackDowns each Monday and Friday, Premium Live Events at least once a month, and sporadic house shows that are far less frequent than what they once were. On top of that, the company's top stars partake in plentiful public appearances and media work across a regular month, not to mention ever-expanding international press tours as WWE continues to push for more PLEs overseas.

If anyone doubted Will Ospreay's willingness to embrace "the grind", though, all you have to do is look at the travel stats now posted by the 32-year-old Essex native. Just because Ospreay decided against moving to the US and against signing with WWE, that doesn't mean he's not putting in the miles in a different way. Namely, a flight from, say, London to the US can vary from anywhere between six and a half hours to 11 and a half hours.
