Will Ospreay is AEW-bound once he finishes up with New Japan Pro Wrestling, months after he decided to make one of the biggest decisions of his life, which was to leave the Japan promotion this year.
The decision
The top star had interest from plenty of promotions expected to bid for his services, including WWE, AEW, and TNA, but in the end, he opted to sign with AEW, an announcement made official at Full Gear in November. It was announced he would start full-time at AEW Revolution.
As previously reported, TNA was very much in the running to land Ospreay, and the promotion made him a “fantastic, massive offer.” It was likely the largest offer to one person since Anthem took over ownership of the company and was a “seven-figure level offer.”
The latest
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported the latest on Ospreay’s status with All Elite Wrestling.
Meltzer wrote, “Ospreay is scheduled for Revolution in Greensboro and will be starting as a regular on TV in February.
Revolution takes place in March, also marking the final match of Sting’s legendary career.
