Will Ospreay Says He Wanted Specific Entrance Song For AEW All In 2026
Several weeks removed from AEW All In 2026, fans are still talking about Will Ospreay's emotional entrance. Ospreay was said to be very hands-on with the entrance as Tony Khan wanted both he and Kenny Omega to have a special presentation. A video aired with a look back at his career while his mom, Sue, provided narration. Then it cut to Ospreay live backstage as he met ghosts of his past before ending up with his wife, Alex Windsor, before heading through the curtains. During the walkthrough, The Who's "Baba O'Riley" added a poignant soundtrack to the moment.
During an interview on "Insight with Chris Van Vliet", Ospreay revealed that he had another song in mind. While he liked "Baba O'Riley", he didn't connect with it in the same way. "I remember listening to it on travels with Al and I was just like, 'I don't know if I feel it'. The other song I wanted got my juices flowing. And it was my favorite song."
When he heard his mom's voiceover and saw the clips around it, he realized The Who classic was the perfect choice. He admits that he had a Plan A that didn't happen, though he had faith in Mike Mansury and the production team. Having the narration from his mom, especially with so many peers losing their own, made the entrance "magical".
Ospreay didn't reveal the song he wanted in case they can get it licensed for a future match.
