Summary

Will Ospreay says he wants to do more with United Empire in AEW, as he continues trying to keep the faction connected across both AEW and NJPW.

Ospreay has recently pushed for more reunions with the group, including appearances in AEW and several moments in NJPW. He also acknowledged that not everyone has been on the same page, with Callum Newman pushing back even as Ospreay keeps lobbying for more crossover.

That also lines up with Ospreay's recent push for more AEW talent to work NJPW dates, another sign that he still sees value in keeping those ties active.

Quote from Will Ospreay

"I would like to do it a little bit more because, obviously, they're my teammates. They're the guys that got me to where I was. In 2019, I felt like at that time I was the best in the world. I felt like I was at my peak in a weird way. But I do believe my peak was probably during the COVID era, which f****** sucks. In 2020, it was me, O-Khan, Jeff and Henare, and I just remember when I first started getting attraction from the wrestling crowd, it was alongside my boys. Those guys were alongside me as I rode that wave. We were just a great team. So I hope so, and I hope we can keep doing it."

What Ospreay's United Empire comments could mean

Ospreay framing United Empire as the group that helped elevate him gives AEW an easy story hook if more members appear with him again. It would instantly give one of the company's top stars a stronger faction identity on television instead of leaving those connections mostly in the NJPW orbit.

At the same time, Ospreay's mention of resistance from Callum Newman matters. A full reunion in AEW feels tied to whether United Empire stays united outside the company first, so this is more of an open door than a confirmed next step.
