Will Ospreay has recently discussed the commencement of his upcoming journey with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), shedding light on why he humorously deems his new job’s start to be in less-than-ideal conditions.
The revelation of AEW’s latest major signing occurred at AEW Full Gear, where New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s (NJPW) Will Ospreay was unveiled.
Ospreay is poised to enter free agency in early 2024, with his current deal at NJPW extending until February. It is at this point that Ospreay is slated to embark on his full-time venture with AEW.
In an unexpected turn of events, AEW announced their return to Canada in 2024, spanning the entire month of March and a specific date in April.
Ospreay, however, took to Twitter to express his discontent with this revelation, playfully remarking that his initial two months at the new job seemed destined to be ‘in hell.’
His unfavorable sentiments towards Canada trace back to the Forbidden Door event in Toronto earlier this year, where he engaged in a widely acclaimed match against Kenny Omega, considered by many as the standout match of 2023.
Leading up to this significant encounter, Ospreay shared amusing videos documenting his travels across the freezing Canadian landscape.
Looking ahead, Ospreay is gearing up for a match at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 against David Finlay and Jon Moxley. Speculation surrounds this bout, with the possibility that it might mark the conclusion of his tenure as a full-time NJPW wrestler.
