Rhino Highlights His Favorite AEW Wrestlers
Rhino has high praise for All Elite Wrestling’s roster.
This week, AEW stopped by Detroit, the birthplace of Rhino. When the company come to town, “The Manbeast” can often be seen getting in the ring for one-off appearances, including when he took on Nick Wayne for the ROH World Television Championship in May 2025. Now, the ECW legend has revealed who on the roster he loves to watch.
Speaking to 101 WRIF, Rhino discussed his favourites on the AEW roster, listing Will Ospreay as his top pick.
“Well, Will Ospreay is my favorite. You got [Jon] Moxley and then Adam Copeland, Christian Cage. The women’s division, I think it’s probably better than some of the men. I’m a little biased because I have my daughter, and you know what it’s like to be a a father to a daughter. You’re always rooting for the WNBA, the women’s league and all that stuff, women’s wrestling. It’s hard-hitting action and sometimes you see some of the matches and you’re just like, ‘Oh my god, that was a great match.’”
-Rhino
Rhino has a long history with Copeland and Cage, so it is unsurprising that he would mention them. As for Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley, both were heavily featured on AEW Dynamite this week as they continued building towards the main event of All In: London, where Ospreay will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW Men’s World Championship.
On the women’s side of things, last night’s Dynamite saw an intense battle of words between Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale and challenger Mercedes Moné. The two will also meet at All In: London, with Tony Khan reportedly having the match planned for the pay-per-view for some time, as you can read about here.
Rhino was not featured on AEW Dynamite proper, although he did compete in a dark match before the episode aired. In terms of a possible future appearance, the star made it clear elsewhere in the interview that he aims to be on the card at All In: London.
“I’m trying to get on that Wembley Stadium for AEW because that’s gonna be big.”
-Rhino
When it comes to how his appearance might come about, it’s worth noting that AEW earlier this week announced that the men’s Casino Gauntlet will return to Wembley Stadium, meaning Rhino could appear as a surprise entrant in the match. However, whether that happens remains to be seen.
