It has just been announced by NJPW that Will Ospreay will be vacating his championship due to injury in this statement:
“On May 4’s night two of Wrestling Dontaku in Fukuoka, Will Ospreay sustained a neck injury. As a result, Ospreay will not be participating in the next series of events and will instead return to the UK for treatment and rehabilitation.
There is no timetable for Ospreay’s return to action at this time, and as a result, his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship will be vacated.
Further announcements on the status of the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship will be made at a later date.”
This is very sad news for the Ospreay after his massive win for the championship on April 4, making it only near two months with him having the belt.
What will now happen to his recently established faction, the Empire, and the future of the IWGP World Championship is currently unknown.
All of us here at the Overtimer hope that Will Ospreay will have a speedy recovery.
