Will Ospreay has been taking time off after AEW x NJPW Forbidden Doorso that he can undergo surgery. As speculation about his future continues, the timeline for his neck surgery has been revealed.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Will Ospreay will undergo neck surgery in the next few weeks to repair herniated discs he has been dealing with for about a month. The operation will sideline him for a significant amount of time as he recovers.
Ospreays final match before the break took place at Forbidden Door on August 24, where he was part of the winning team in the brutal Lights Out Steel Cage main event. After the match, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli launched a vicious attack on him as he was written off television.
This comes after Will Ospreay admitted he might have to scale back on his high-flying moves after surgery. Ospreays neck surgery marks an important turning point in his career, as it may change how he wrestles in the future.
Fans will definitely miss seeing him in AEW and NJPW, but his health is the top priority. When he finally makes his return, it will almost certainly be one of the most highly anticipated returns in wrestling.
Do you think Will Ospreay should reinvent his style after surgery to prolong his career, or should he keep performing the same high-risk moves that made him a global star? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
