Will Osperay almost break character after he won the belt,he was covering his face with his hands and then ring corner,he was almost about to cry on his win.

Okada tried hard to hide his feelings, but you could still see how happy/proud he was.

You gonna think backstage Okada was so proud of Will for winning the Gold and carrying himself as a champion.

And new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay! The rise of the United Empire.

I actually like that Kota lost, he was so busy trying to convince everyone that combining the IWGP titles together was a good idea and that he wasn’t betraying everyone by doing so, that when the time came to defend it, seems like his mind wasn’t focused enough on defending the new title with all his spirit. Basically he got to close to the sun and got burned.

Zack must be malding knowing he wasn't the first British to win the world title.

What a match. As a fellow Englishman who lives only 16 miles away from where Ospreay was born (Rainham in Essex) I don’t think I’ve been happier to see someone win a world title, I was on my knees in front of the screen. The most beautiful woman in the world could have walked into my house and I would have completely ignored her.

I Can watch shingo vs ospreay all day every day

"anyone else, or can I go enjoy a little bit of the bubbly"

I said it was only a matter of time until he was champ when he first turned on Chaos and now here he stands six months later as world champion

I love youtubes subtitles: "a triangular conflict has emerged!"

Ibushi becomes the ultimate meta heel in the eyes of the fans by retiring the lineage of two beloved titles, and loses the new championship in its first defense. CLEAN! 🤣

Okada is sooo cool...I want to watch NJPW because of him..

Hmmm, thought Ibushi would be champ til at least late summer/early fall. But hey congrats to Ospreay: From junior heavyweight champ to heavyweight champ!

I just realised it really helps putting closed captions on 🤣

Congrats to Will. It was two years ago when a lot of people said he couldn't become a heavyweight and win the title. A bit sad it took so long, but well deserved. Also a bit sad it came at the expense at Kota Ibushi's more deserved run.

Imagine being a transitional champion for a belt YOU wanted to create... Ibushi just became the biggest scrub in New Japan. All that talk about unifying the titles and when Ibushi finally did it... he loses on the first defense? Probably gonna mean a typical comeback arc coming for him. Happy for Ospreay on the other hand. The rematch with Taikagi is gonna be fire. Funny moment at 4:43, though. Takagi be like, "YOINK!" My mic now!"

Nice to see Will use Connors line exactly on becoming a double champ technically

This is getting interesting. UE is the hottest stable in NJPW, and with how much they’ve built up Shingo, you now have several guys that would make great challengers or champions down the line. This is gonna be fun.

I hope they give Osprey a good run. I still think Okada and Ibushi are the best in the world, but I want Osprey to have a good run with the United Empire. They deserve it and Henare and Cobb are just sick.

WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!! ALL BOW DOWN TO THE UNITED EMPIRE!!!! THAT JUMPING/FLYING KNEE FROM OSPREY TO IBUSHI WAS SSSSIIIIICCCCKKKK!!!!!!

Watching his video on insta before this match and then watching him win was just so cool

Man, Ospreay is now on the moon. The guy just has a star power aura. NJPW just knows how to create legit feeling stars. I'm sorry that Ibushi's reign didn't last a little bit longer, but at the very least it was memorable.

Wow, i was expecting Ospreay to become World champion by the rest of the year but not this quick. This was impressing. Been following Ospreay since he was more skinny , now hes truly a Heavyweight star with his own stable. Time flies

Will Ospeary: nobody is a better wrestler than me! Kenny Omega: hmmmm gonna add that to my collection.

Congrats will. It's been written and finally here. You the best

The one thing people are going to dismiss about this is Cobb, you can tell he’s going to turn

this what happens when you combine the belts and call yourself Kami

The look on Wills face when he destroyed that zema too Funny. 🤣🤣🤣

Ibushi: I. AM. GOD! Ospreay: What is a God to a non-believer?

How to make the United Empire a unstoppable dominant faction 1. Will Osprey: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion ✅ 2. Aaron Henare: NEVER Openweight Champion 3. Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb: IWGP Tag team Champions

Two years ago Seth Rollins twitted trolling Ospreay,“Ohhh sorry little guy we got the better version of you(Ricochete) who just won the us title" Now Will Ospreay is holding the most prestigious title of wrestling industry. But Ricochete is jobbing in wwe. Want to know what Seth got to say about it 😂😂

I will say this I love how heel or face the champ still calls their shot with who they demand to defend the title against

Looks like we are not getting Kenny vs Kota ibushi 🤨 anytime soon

O-Khan is the translator of the Empire! Cute!! Also now I'm more hyped for Shingo than anything.

I feel sad that they change to the divas championship before giving it to ospreay.

"no pro wrestler better than me" Kenny Omega- " and i took that personal"

Rainmaker awaits the Champion in the horizon.

Man, I can't believe they took the belt off Ibushi that fast. His path to the title was so amazing, he deserved a longer reign in my opinion, not that Ospreay isn't great himself.

My man finally wins the IWGP Championship and it now looks like it came from Claire's Accessories... :(

7:13 に注目！！ オカダ、鷹木、オスプレイのIWGPをめぐる3角関係を映すために、オーカーンがほかの2人を下がらせている！！ なんて“周りの見える男”なんだろう！！ コメントとか口調とかは好きじゃないけど、こういうとこ、惚れます♡ 誰か気づいた人いる？？

Osprey has definitely deserved this title win. We all know how hard Will has been working on his craft. Not only has he been working on it for years, but with some of the great international talents in many different promotions all round the world. This title win has been a LONG TIME coming.

The title unification just destroyed ibushi dream and thrown him out of the roof in sumo hall

I am so happy to shingo takagi gunning for title

New Japan Pro Wrestling has been #1 for awhile now its crazy how intense but funny and charismatic it's overall product is throughout the storylines 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🏆

April 4th will forever be the day England beat Japan for there Top Prize The IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. I remember watching Will Ospreays fued with Jimmy Fn Havoc for the Progress Heavyweight Title, I remember watching all his Matches Live on KZfaq with WCPW and being the Work horse of that company but he put people over even though he was there most famous British Wrestler, His matchs on TV with World Of Sports and of course all his Work in New Japan. From being Hand Picked by Okada, Winning BOTSJ, Winning the Jr Heavyweight Title, Becoming New Japans New Best Bout Machine after Omega left, Never Openweight Champion and proving he can hang with the Heavyweights, Becoming The Ace of The Jrs, British Rev Pro Heavyweight Champion before the Lockdown in the UK, New Japan Cup winner and now this. This make me so Proud to be British and we can all say and NNEEEWWWW IWGP WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.....WILL OSPREAY 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

This group is giving me old school bullet club vibes, but in an all new way. They are gonna take over!

definitly going down as one of the most shocking & unenexpected moments in pro wrestling in 2021 by far.

I'll be honest I didn't expect ospreay to win the title here I was expecting Ibushi to have a longer run. But Ospreay definitely deserves this. Edit: is Ospreay saying he wants to enjoy a little bit of the bubbly a Chris Nericho reference or am I just reading too much into that?

now I'm about to watch months of old videos.

Cobb smirked a little, when Ospreay mentioned a bit of the bubbly🤣🤣

I loved this. Congrats to my boy Heavyweight Ospreay.

I called it two weeks ago and I was right. Twitter was sent into a temper tantrum when he pinned Ibushi to win the belt. Long live the United Empire. #WillOspreayIsYourChampion

オーカーン頭いいの推せるなぁ

Shingo improves day by day... a superstar

The United Empire has truly arrived in Njpw as Will Ospreay becomes the New IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.

Still can't believe Ospreay actually won. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy he did, I think he is completely deserving of the belt, and his character work has been really good, it's just, I expected Ibushi's reign to be far longer.

As much I hate Ibushi for unification idea but I still feel he deserves better and long title reign

UNITED EMPIRE WE STAND 🇼🇸 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 🇳🇿

So much for that Ibushi/Omega title vs. title everybody thought was gonna happen.

Big Congrats to Will Ospreay. 💯🏆👏👏

Will making history one of the greatest wrestle in the world hes handsome goodheart and kind loving person

Ospreay is such a heel.

Best Wreslers in the Universe.... The Champion, The Star, Will Osprey.... ❤️❤️🔥🔥 Congratulations 🎉🎉

In the words of Kevin Kelly He has done itttt 🎉🎉🎉

First off, Will Osprey. I cannot put in words how I'm happy he's the new IWGP world champion. As much as I'm an Ibushi fan, seeing Osprey win the big one was amazing. Secondly, I'm glad that New Japan is giving a lot of the talent a chance to be in the main event mix. Unlike other promotions who keep giving fans the same main event 3 PPV straight. Shingo is growing on me as being in the world title picture. His match in the New Japan Cup really impressed me. I cannot wait to see what happens next. Hopefully, Osprey's title reign lasts for a while. Ibushi, in my opinion, put his damn foot in his mouth. Ibushi kept saying I want to unify the titles and make a new legacy without thinking that he was going to be beaten 2 weeks after the new belt arrives. I hope he can rebound from this whole thing seems confusing. Kota did all these proclamations about bring together the heavyweight belts just to lose.

Can’t believe they got rid of the old title. This one is nowhere as nice as the old one

Will genuinely surprised of the audience laughing when he sent Ibushi out.

This will be exciting to see. I can see it unravel already. Cobb will take that belt We saw Shino v Osprey already at the BOSJ back in 19 Where's Bea lol Excited to see this again, they tore it up

IWGP Championship is more prestigious than the WWE Championship. Change my mind.

They did Ibushi dirty should have had a longer win but anyway I really like Will well done bud

I met him in the uk (Rainham) my mums friend is friends with his mum nice to see him go somewhere

Ibushi JUST got the belt changed and now it's gone. Wow. :D I got to watch the whole thing. What's awesome though is Osprey doesn't feel like a true Champion yet, not until he beats Okada.

I don’t watch a lot of NJPW so just watching Ospreay cut this very passionate heel promo and the fans just clapping quietly and respectfully whatever that means makes me laugh 😂

2:34 Hey Will conor McGregor called said he wants his line back from UFC 205 interview.

Well fucking earned Will! Your a star kid so keep on being one!

This is well deserved for will ospreay

So happy for will osprey! British are taking over Japan and I love it! Haha

Happy for ospreay, deserving of main event. Still hoping for another ricochet rematch at some point

Did not see this one coming

なんかいい方向に進んでて嬉しい笑

Congratulations, Will Ospreay!!!!

THIS made my day !!! I cant believe i missed this ! Ospreay has come a long way . Hes bulked up and just gotten better and better . He and Shingo who i loved since Dragon Gate are my two top favorites !!!! Cheers Will . And cheers New Japan !!!!

Omg they finally are running with Ospreay. Although, I still like the design of the old IWGP Heavyweight/Intercontinental belts. Sad to see Ibushi lose the belt after a couple defenses, dude probably deserves it more than anyone else, but that's what happens when you fly too close to the sun. Maybe Ibushi to AEW to reunite with Kenny Omega?

congrats to the kingpin 👏👏

Loving Shingos look

Ospreay is now Godspreay! Congratulations champ!

I haven't seen njpw in a while but is it just me or are the title reigns becoming really short

Can't Wait To See Osprey Defend The IWGP World Championship Against Hiroshi Tanahashi Okada Jay White And Others

I think the CEO of United Empire is oka tomoyuki himself. Maybe the founder of this faction is still electrifying promo. Not much for okada not speak. But shingo is still thrilled to be iwgp himself.

"Look what a mere man did to god" Ospreay taking over now

He beat Kota Ibushi multiple times already had my money on Ospreay

They didn't give naito a proper length reign after winning the belts last year at WK and now they didn't give ibushi a proper length reign after winning at WK this year fml

Will Ospreay made history by becoming the 4th Jr. Heavyweight (Nobuhiko Takada 1st, Keny Omega 2nd, Kota Ibushi 3rd) & 2nd British Heavyweight Champion (AJ Styles 1st) winning the IWGP Havyweight Champioship in NJPW. i feel back for Ricochet because he's a jobber now and Seth Rollins twitter post did not aged well.

Jeff cobb and the great o ghan should win the IWGP Heavyweight tag titles

So happy for Ospreay. He deserves it

Will Osprsy is a remarkable athlete and fantastic wrestler. Wish he’d join AEW or WWE.

As of July 11, 2021, Will Ospreay was the British Heavyweight Champion in Revolution Pro Wrestling.

The new belt is starting to grow on me. It's looking really good.

17:02 Or can I go & enjoy a bit of the bubbly and go party with my friends. Nice reference to Chris Jericho's bit of the bubbly quote.
