Will Ospreay Says Playing Assassin’s Creed Led To Him Incorporating Parkour Into His Move-Set

Will Ospreay once again speaks on how Assassin’s Creed has helped to influence his pro wrestling career and move-set.

Fans of Ospreay are well aware of his fandom related to Assassin’s Creed, with the ‘Aerial Assassin’ taking inspiration from multiple parts of the game franchise, including with his entrance, his gear and even his in ring move-set.

While speaking to GAMINGBible in a new interview, Will Ospreay spoke about the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag: Resynced, and discussed his fandom of the games further, noting that the parkour elements of the video game are why he incorporated parkour into his own wrestling move-set.

“I hadn’t played the games before. So it was really cool to play that first and then the preludes to find out how Revelations came to be and how Ezio got to that situation. That’s my earliest memory, I had such an awakening in my brain to be like, ‘Oh, I can move like this character, and that’s why I started incorporating parkour into my move-set in pro wrestling.”

Ospreay’s Assassin’s Creed inspired entrance from AEW All In Texas in 2025 was recently nominated for an award. You can read more about that here.
