United Empire (ユナイテッド・エンパイア, Yunaiteddo Enpaia, stylized as UNITED EMPIRE), originally The Empire (ジ・エンパイア, Ji Enpaia), is a professional wrestling faction performing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and Ring of Honor (ROH). The faction is led by Will Ospreay and TJP.
The group was formed in October 2020 by Will Ospreay and Great-O-Khan, when Ospreay turned on his Chaos stablemate Kazuchika Okada during the G1 Climax. Fellow NJPW wrestlers Jeff Cobb and Aaron Henare would join, as well as freelancers T. J. Perkins and Francesco Akira, and the team of Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis known as Aussie Open, and "Lord" Gideon Grey from RevPro.
