The regular crossover between All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Will Ospreay and the Assassin’s Creed series continued on Saturday night.
Heading down to the ring for his main event match during AEW’s All Out pay-per-view in Chicago, AEW’s world champion’s entrance featured cutaways to Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. All while a live rendition of the game’s theme was played on violin, with the voice of Edward Kenway (Matt Ryan) providing voice-over.
You can check out the introduction from the show below.
This isn’t the first time Ospreay’s entrance has been inspired by the legendary franchise. Just last year, he came to the ring at AEW’s All In show with a different Assassin’s Creed-themed entrance. Before that, it was done for New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom in 2024.
And in case you were wondering, Ospreay, who goes by the nickname “The Aerial Assassin”, retained his AEW World Championship in the main event against Jon Moxley. He first won the championship in his home country of England from Kenny Omega at All Out London back in August.
