Will Ospreay On Potentially Starting A Faction In AEW: It’s Crossed My Mind

Will Ospreay discusses the idea of potentially starting a faction in AEW following the success of United Empire in NJPW.

Ospreay is no stranger to factions in professional wrestling, playing an integral role in creating the United Empire faction in NJPW. Now, he has addressed if he has considered beginning a faction in All Elite Wrestling.

While speaking to Wrestling Brain in a new interview, Will Ospreay was asked about potentially starting a new faction in AEW.

“There’s always like a thought process with it. I don’t know, really, because it’s just one of those… United Empire was like my idea. It was my idea, and Great-O-Khan, I’ve got to throw him a bone as well. But it was my idea to like, be able to put together a group in Japan of like people from different walks of life, some different cultures in one, faction. To start my own thing and it not being called the United Empire would kind of- it wouldn’t feel right. Obviously, it’s crossed my mind. Like, I mean, I’ve spoken to Speedball, Mike Bailey and Jet (Kevin Knight) like loads of times, just to be like ‘oh we should have just a good guy faction.’ We should- whenever all the bad guys are backstage ripping up stuff and throwing things around we (go) ‘Oi don’t do that.'”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Ospreay spoke about facing off with Vader in one of his final matches. You can read more about that here.
