Ezio is the best – apparently not only among assassins but also among wrestlers…

Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the iconic character of the Assassin’s Creed series, made an epic return at one of the UK’s biggest events this year, to the surprise of thousands of attendees.

On Sunday, August 25, 2024, American wrestling promotion AEW returned for their latest PPV event in the UK, All In, at Wembley Stadium in London. It was an epic four-hour pro pankration night from start to finish.

With the return of English wrestling legend Nigel McGuinness, the debut of former WWE Superstar Ricochet, and the title match between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson, between career matches, it was certainly a night to remember.

However, the most anticipated match for many in attendance and at home was the match between England’s Will Ospreay and the US Champion (now reverted to the International Championship) MJF.

Will Ospreay vs. MJF was exciting enough in itself. Still, Will Ospreay is a big fan of Assassin’s Creed, which inspired his nickname “Aerial Assassin.” Wearing a tattoo of his favourite video game series, Will Ospreay took his entrance to the next level, marking the return of Ezio Auditore.

Complete with parkour break dancers and Assassin’s Creed Shadows ring gear, the voice of Ezio Auditore, Roger Craig Smith, narrated Will Ospreay’s entrance video, accompanied by the soothing Assassin’s Creed theme music. Many fans of the series in attendance may have been excited to hear Smith’s voice again, but perhaps no one was more excited than Will Ospreay.

The entrance, which was also shown to AEW’s followers on Twitter, reached over one million views. Roger Craig Smith retweeted the video in question, saying: “I could not have imagined how it was going to turn out, but I’m beyond honored that Will Ospreay and Ubisoft UK allowed me to be involved in such an epic moment at Wembley for AEW All In.”

To which Will Ospreay kindly replied: “You have no idea how much your role in Assassin’s Creed played a huge impact on my career. Thank you so much for being part of the biggest night of my life. We are assassins”, to which Smith replied: “VITTORIA AGLI ASSASSINI!”.
