Will Ospreay shared some scary news in a new post on Twitter.
The top NJPW star mentioned that while he was dealing with a kidney infection this past May, which made him miss shows for Revolution Pro Wrestling and Warrior Wrestling, things got serious.
Ospreay missed time from May 15 to June 8. Ospreay revealed that he nearly died due to the infection. He wrote the following:
“So it’s not really spoken about enough but May I nearly died. My infection was that serious. Came back in 2 weeks. 3 months from that point, tomorrow I’m in the G1 Final on NJPW 50th Anniversary. I wish I could hear your voices. But I’ll fight with everything I’ve got.”
Ospreay is slated to meet Kazuchika Okada in the finals of the G1 Climax 32 on Thursday after earning this spot following a win over Tetsuya Naito in the semifinals.
Ospreay is also slated to be in action when he teams with Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) against Death Triangle (PAC, Penta El Zero M, & Rey Fenix) on the August 24 episode of AEW Dynamite.
