Ospreay made his AEW debut last week on Dynamite when his United Empire faction attacked FTR and Trent Beretta.
Fast forward to Rampage, Ospreay teamed up with Aussie Open for a six-man tag team match against FTR and Beretta. The United Empire's AEW in-ring debut was eventually spoiled after they ended up on the losing side.
Will Ospreay and The United Empire were victorious at Dominion 6.12
At the recently concluded NJPW Dominion 6.12 show, Will Ospreay won the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.
The Commonwealth Kingpin defeated SANADA to win the vacant title after Juice Robinson failed to defend the belt at the show. However, the title is still with the former champion, who did not travel to Japan and is still in the US.
As it stands, Ospreay remains without his newly won title.
Billy GOAT.

Meanwhile, his stablemates Jeff Cobb and The Great O-Khan defeated Bullet Club's Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale to once again win the IWGP Tag Team Championships.
O-Khan and Cobb previously attacked FTR and Roppongi Vice on Dynamite. There is a high chance that the United Empire duo will cross paths with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler in a Champion vs. Champion Match at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
