Will Ospreay Suffers Injury And Is Officially Removed From NJPW’s Power Struggle Card

Will Ospreay will officially miss the upcoming NJPW Power Struggle card, as he has suffered an injury and will be unable to compete.

As announced officially by New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Will suffered the injury n the United Kingdom during the Revolution Pro Wrestling Global Wars. It also seems that he has been recovering slower than anticipated, which is never a good thing.

So, this title opportunity against Taichi on November 3rd has been removed as he is nursing his injury. This is sad news and a major blow to both New Japan and Will himself as he worked very hard in order to transition from jr. Heavyweight to a Heavyweight.

Here is the excerpt from New Japan’s English site:

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Will Osprey will miss the event in Osaka on November 3rd (Sat). As such the NEVER Openweight Championship match has been canceled.

Having become injured in the UK, Will Ospreay has been undergoing treatment. However, his treatment has not progressed as quickly as we had hoped and unfortunately, he will have to miss the event on November 3 (Saturday) in Osaka Prefectural Gym (Edion Arena Osaka).

As a result, the NEVER Openweight Championship match (Taichi vs Will Ospreay), scheduled for the same event, will be canceled.

We offer our sincerest apologies to our fans who were looking forward to this championship match. Good luck Will, we look forward to your return at upcoming events.
