Will Ospreay beats John Cena, CM Punk and other major WWE names outside the squared circle

One of AEW's top names, Will Ospreay, has beaten out John Cena, CM Punk and several other formidable WWE superstars in a surprising non-wrestling metric. The Aerial Assassin's exclusive figures on a major merchandise platform have outsold those of the aforementioned names, news of which recently broke on social media.

Will Ospreay was last seen in action on his home-soil at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, where he teamed with Hiroshi Tanahashi, The Golden Lovers and Darby Allin to defeat The Death Riders in a Lights Out Steel Cage Match. The Englishman was ambushed by Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley after the bout, with The One True King annihilating the high-flyer's neck with several Paradigm Shift DDTs and a steel-chair neck stomp to boot. The vicious angle wrote Ospreay off of programming for his impending neck surgery, which he successfully underwent last month.

The former AEW International Champion has emerged as one of the Tony Khan-led company's most beloved fan-favorites over the past year. It has now been noted on X/Twitter by wrestling merchandise retail company Ringside Collectibles that Will Ospreay's exclusive figure from the AEW Supreme line has outsold those of several prominent WWE names, including former WWE Champions John Cena and CM Punk, former NXT Champion Oba Femi, former Women's Champion Liv Morgan, Penta, and more.

Will Ospreay recently voiced his respect for a legendary WWE high-flyer

Will Ospreay has been away from the squared circle since the brutal steel cage warfare between his team and The Death Riders at Forbidden Door this past August. While on hiatus from the Jacksonville-based company's programming, The Commonwealth Kingpin has maintained an active presence on social media. When a user asked fans to name the entries on their personal Light-Heavyweight/Cruiserweight Wrestling Mt. Rushmore, Ospreay responded by naming Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, alongside the legendary Hayabusa, Naomichi Marufuji and Dragon Kid.

Ospreay had battled the former WWE Champion in singles competition once back in 2017, defeating Mysterio just under the twenty-minute mark.
