Will Ospreay vs. Kazuchika Okada Booked For AEW Grand Slam: France

Will Ospreay has already set his sights on his next AEW World Championship challenger.

The 2026 AEW All Out pay-per-view event concluded with Ospreay successfully defending the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley, marking his first defense of the title since winning it from Kenny Omega at All In 2026.

Following the match, Ospreay appeared as the only guest on the All Out 2026 post-show and wasted little time naming his preferred opponent for his next title defense.

Ospreay called out Kazuchika Okada and challenged him to a match for the AEW World Championship at Grand Slam: France on October 6.

Okada accepted the challenge, putting the potential championship bout on the table. AEW President Tony Khan also addressed the idea, stating that he likes the matchup.
