Will Ospreay and Alex Windsor have a big reason to celebrate.

There are a lot of couples in the world of pro wrestling, and another talented duo recently got married: AEW’s Will Ospreay and Alex Windsor.

The former AEW International Champion, Will Ospreay, and AEW women’s wrestler Alex Windsor officially tied the knot. Windsor is part of the Brawling Birds tag team with fellow British women’s wrestler Jamie Hayter.

Ospreay and Windsor have been together for several years and were engaged in June of last year. Ospreay is the stepfather to Windsor’s son, Harry, whom she had with the late Ryan Smile, a close friend of Ospreay’s as well. Smile passed away in October 2020.

Will Ospreay posted a simple message on Facebook saying “We did it” and shared a photo of the happy couple in their wedding attire. It was confirmed by PWInsider and elsewhere.

The happy couple, Ospreay and Windsor, were both in the Owen Hart Foundation tournaments, but only Ospreay remains. Will Ospreay will face Swerve Strickland in the finals of the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament, and the winner of that match gets a shot at the AEW World Title at All In London in Will’s home country of England.

Will Ospreay Addresses Criticism From NJPW Champion

Yota Tsuji is New Japan’s IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, and he made some recent comments to Tokyo Sports about how he may boycott the upcoming AEW-NJPW Forbidden Door PPV.

Critics of AEW’s business relationship with NJPW have claimed that NJPW feels second-rate to AEW when interacting with AEW wrestlers, and it appears that Tsuji feels that way as well. His comments are below.

“I think we must firmly protect what New Japan Pro Wrestling must not lose. Look back at the past. There were 4-way matches, open challenges, and retired wrestlers challenging… Do you think I would participate in an IWGP match when it’s being treated like this in FD? As the man who revived the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, I have to protect its value.”

In response to what Tsuji had to say, Will Ospreay wrote on X that Tsuji needs to think about the honor of representing NJPW, like Ospreay did when he was an NJPW wrestler.

Or maybe have some pride in representing your company as the top lad.

When I held any IWGP championship I wanted to travel the world calling out the best to show them all New Japan is the better.

Obviously his home market is Japan & he has done great job in the top spot to me this screams “ insecure”

The roster clearly isn’t as driven as the guys I was once surrounded by.
Just big belly boys wanting to keep playing “Free Play”

Grow a sack, fill it with some nuts, call out the BITW & show the world how good New Japan is….

Just my thoughts.

When another fan criticized AEW for using NJPW and not sending big names to NJPW, Ospreay defended AEW as well.

Never send any of their talent???

The highest attended WK, had an AEW contracted wrestler.

The semi of that same show had another AEW talent.

Do you think they would’ve sold that many tickets without the generosity of Tony Khan??

Kenny went back…

Andrade…

Myself…

Could they send more absolutely but in that same sense why can’t they make their own stars anymore.

I did it and I did it in the worst possible situation New Japan has ever found themselves in.

You can’t blame the company that gave NJPW a platform to remind people how talented the roster is. Especially during the covid years when NO ONE wanted to watch NJPW unless me or the UE boys were involved.

If they want to be treated equally level the f**k up and actually call out the guys you wanna be on that same level
