Will Ospreay made a surprise appearance at the NJPW New Year
Dash show held earlier today.
The former IWGP champion came out for an angle following the
match featuring United Empire and War Dogs, with Ospreay
trying to mend things between David Finlay and Callum
Newman. Newman was not interested in Ospreay’s move and even
tried to hit him with a chair before the rest of United
Empire stopped him.
Speaking after the show, Ospreay expressed his wish to
return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling for a few shows per year
once he is fully recovered and said he is determined to make
it happen.
The popular British star also gave an update on his health
status, saying he still needs to recover from neck surgery
and that’s going to take a long time.
“I’m getting better and better, and I can see the light at
the end of the tunnel,” he said. “When I’m good to go, I’m
going to handle some business in AEW. I’m going to come back
to New Japan Pro-Wrestling.”
Ospreay was also present for the Wrestle Kingdom 20 pay-per-
view and was part of the Hiroshi Tanahashi retirement
ceremony.
