Will Ospreay is back on AEW TV, and he's got a target on the Death Riders. After Jon Moxley successfully retained the AEW Continental Championship against Konosuke Takeshita at "Revolution 2026," Ospreay charged the ring and blasted the titleholder with the Hidden Blade.

As Ospreay continued to rain down elbows, Death Riders members PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia tried intervening. "The Aerial Assassin" ended up hitting a corkscrew dive before trying to get back to Moxley. Ultimately, the AEW Continental Champion avoided further punishment and escaped.

Will Ospreay Seeks Revenge on Death Riders

Ospreay's attack on the Death Riders stems from an angle that played out during the "Forbidden Door 2025" pay-per-view event. In a 10-man steel cage match, Moxley purposely targeted the neck of Ospreay. He then placed Ospreay's head through a chair and stomped on it to explain "The Aerial Assassin's" absence in story.

Back in Sept. 2025, Ospreay underwent neck surgery for two herniated disks. Ospreay was said to have been dealing with neck issues for almost a full year and needed to go under the knife. Prior to AEW "Revolution 2026," Ospreay had reportedly been working on returning to the ring.

Some fans watching the PPV through HBO Max have taken to social media to complain about audio issues during Ospreay's return.
