Will Ospreay 'Anxious' About Upcoming Surgery

Will Ospreay is set to step into a Steel Cage later tonight at Forbidden Door 2025, though in the aftermath he has revealed that he will undergo surgery for two herniated discs. He has made sure to note that there is no risk of him entering the match at Forbidden Door, with doctors not having a problem with him competing, but he is scared about the surgery itself. 

Speaking with CBS Sports, Ospreay discussed his anxiety prior to surgery.

“I’m anxious. I’m scared. Generally, I’m terrified. Not about the match, but just about afterwards. I don’t know what it looks like afterwards, because for the first time in my life, I have been disqualified from doing the thing that I love doing. I’ve never had anybody cut into me. I’ve never had surgery. I’ve never broken a bone, other than my nose, which everyone can tell, because it looks like I’ve been hit by a frying pan… 

“...I know what I’m capable of. I know what I can do. I know what I can’t do. Most importantly, the medics know what I can and can’t do. The surgeon knows what I can and can’t do. And the most important thing is that my safety is utmost guaranteed. I can guarantee my safety in this. I’ll make it through.”

Ospreay will team with Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi to take on Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, The Young Bucks and Gabe Kidd at Forbidden Door.
