Will Ospreay seemed to hint that he’ll need some time away from the ring soon.
During Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay took to the ring and gave an unfortunate update. He said that he has not been medically cleared for the upcoming AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view. Despite that, though, Ospreay plans on getting in the ring anyway. The star then said that whatever happens at his match, a Lights Out Steel Cage Match, wasn’t AEW’s fault.
He went on to say that regardless of what happens, he’ll be leaving everything he has in the ring. Ospreay has been dealing with a neck injury for some time now, so it’s unclear just how much time he’ll need to miss, should he need to miss some.
AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door will take place on August 24, 2025, at The O2 Arena in London, England. So far, the fully updated card for the event is as follows:
