Will Ospreay Provides Update On His NJPW Future

Will Ospreay's time with New Japan Pro-Wrestling looks set to continue.

The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion revealed this week that his contract with NJPW expires in February 2024 and he expects there to be a bidding war over his services.

Despite the likely interest, Ospreay has told Dark Puroresu Flowsion that he is "fairly positive" that he and New Japan will work out a contract extension.

"Will Ospreay & I discussed his 2024 free agency: 'I just wanna know what my options are doesn't mean I'm leaving NJPW. I'm fairly positive me & NJPW will work out a deal but in case we dont I want to provide for my family, wrestle how I wanna wrestle & most importantly be happy,'" Dark Puroresu Flowsion tweeted.

Ospreay has been a part of New Japan Pro-Wrestling since 2016 and he has established himself as one of the promotion's top stars alongside the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito, and Hiroshi Tanahashi. Ospreay has also wrestled for AEW in the past year and he remains a regular presence on the UK independent wrestling scene.
