Will Ospreay is set to be absent from AEW television for several weeks after suffering an injury during the All In: Texas event on Saturday. The highly anticipated pay-per-view took place at Global Life Field in Arlington, Texas, where Ospreay competed alongside former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland in a tag team match against The Young Bucks, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
Ospreay, known as “The Aerial Assassin,” played a key role in the match that saw The Young Bucks lose their Executive Vice President status, with Matt and Nick reverting to their original names on the following AEW Dynamite show. Later in the main event, Ospreay was attacked and carried out on a stretcher by The Death Riders during Hangman Page and Jon Moxley’s AEW World Championship bout.
Details and Context Behind the Injury and Absence
Sources have confirmed that the stretcher exit was deliberately staged to explain Ospreay’s sudden disappearance from AEW programming. Reports indicate that Ospreay has been competing while dealing with nagging injuries and now needs time to recover fully. Although no exact schedule for his return has been announced, insiders suggest he could be sidelined for more than a month.
Hangman Page briefly alluded to Ospreay’s condition during his promo on the post-All In edition of AEW Dynamite, which aired Wednesday following the event. Page’s remarks seemed to acknowledge the ongoing impact of Ospreay’s injury and the expected break from active competition.

Significance of Ospreay’s Injury for AEW and the Road Ahead
Will Ospreay’s absence represents a notable setback for AEW as he had been gaining momentum through recent high-profile performances. His pairing with Swerve Strickland against The Young Bucks marked a significant moment at All In: Texas, reinforcing Ospreay’s status within the promotion. The injury interrupts this momentum and forces AEW to adjust storylines and match cards in the near term.
Fans and the wrestling community await updates on Ospreay’s condition, with hope for a swift recovery. AEW’s handling of his situation reflects the physical toll the sport takes on its performers and the careful balancing act between storyline needs and real-life health concerns. Ospreay’s expected time off also raises questions about who will step up in the coming weeks to fill the gap left in the AEW roster.
