IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay successfully defended his title against longtime rival Marty Scurll at this past Sunday’s Sakura Genesis event for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Ospreay took a relentless beating during the match, including injuring his neck during a Spanish Fly off of the ring apron and sustaining a deep cut that bled throughout the final stages of the bout.
Ospreay has taken to Twitter to update fans on his condition, he is expected to be joining some of the bigger independent shows surrounding next weekend’s WrestleMania show in New Orleans, including events for PROGRESS, Rev Pro and EVOLVE. Check out his full comments below:
Hey guys I’m ok. But I might not be fit to compete for NOLA. I’ll update you once I know more.
