“It’s been 1 full year being All Elite,” Ospreay wrote on November 18, 2024. “My gratitude to this fan base, the roster and everyone that makes @AEW possible.” He didn’t hold back on his aspirations, adding, “Still so much more I want to accomplish in this company and have big goals to be the headliner one day. Thank you for having me.”
