Following the AEW All In: Texas pay-per-view event, new information has surfaced about Will Ospreay’s health, confirming that the AEW star will be sidelined due to aggravating injuries. This latest update marks a concerning development for fans awaiting his return to AEW programming.
Details on the Severity and Medical Evaluation
Dave Meltzer, in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter, revealed that Ospreay has been struggling with injuries for some time, and the condition has worsened since the initial diagnosis. Ospreay was removed from television via a stretcher spot following his tag team match at All In. Meltzer also shared that the injuries have proven more serious than Ospreay initially estimated. The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is scheduled for a full medical evaluation in the United States next week, but no return timetable has been confirmed.
Impact on Upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Event
Ospreay had been expected to be a key competitor at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view set for August 24. However, his involvement in the event is now uncertain due to the current condition of his injuries. The show was intended to spotlight Ospreay prominently, extending the momentum he gained alongside Swerve Strickland at All In.
Recent Success at AEW All In and Future Outlook
At the recent AEW All In event, Will Ospreay teamed with Swerve Strickland to defeat The Young Bucks, ending their storyline roles as on-screen Executive Vice Presidents. While Ospreay faces a recovery period, Strickland’s success from the match positions him for a potential solo run at the AEW World Championship, with a title opportunity available at any time.
