Yesterday saw All Elite Wrestling’s annual All In pay-per-view return to Wembley Stadium, and one of the featured stars was Britain’s own Will Ospreay, who took the opportunity to once again display his Assassin’s Creed fandom in front of the world with a unique entrance that featured a cameo from Ezio Auditore himself.

Ospreay’s entrance featured branding forAssassin’s Creed Shadows, and you’d be forgiven if you initially dismissed this as a marketing stunt for anupcoming Ubisoft game. ButOspreay has been showing his Assassin’s Creed fandom for years, often wearing an AC-inspired hood to the ring and taking opponents out with a finishing move called the Hidden Blade.

The centerpiece of Ospreay’s All In entrance was a montage of wrestling and video game footage featuring voiceover from Assassin’s Creed 2’s Ezio Auditore, performed by original voice actor Roger Craig Smith himself, where Ospreay is more or less inducted into the assassin’s brotherhood. You can check it out in full below.

“You have no idea how much your role in Assassins Creed played a huge impact in my career,” Ospreaytweetedto Smith in the aftermath of the event. “Thank you so much for being part of the biggest night of my life. We are assassins.”

“Thanks, Will! Flattered and honored to have been a part of this,” Smithresponded. “That a game character could impact folks to the point where THE Aerial Assassin would want me involved in such a massive moment…I’m immensely fortunate! Congrats on your victory! VITTORIA AGLI ASSASSINI!”

Like a Dragon Gaiden’s pro wrestling debut was a shockingly entertaining tribute to Yakuza’s goofy violence.
