Former AEW champion sends message after major announcement on Dynamite

A former AEW champion who was reportedly going on a health-related hiatus after All In made a major announcement on Dynamite last night. Now, the star sent a message addressing the same on social media.

All In: Texas saw many marquee matches. One of them was a high-stakes tag bout featuring The Young Bucks, taking on Swerve Strickland and former International Champion Will Ospreay. The Aerial Assassin was on the winning side of that match and was even seen later during the main event, where The Death Riders brutally beat him up. Following the PPV, it was reported that Ospreay was banged up and will be taking time off.

Last night on Dynamite, Will Ospreay made his first appearance on AEW TV since All In and revealed that he had gone through a medical evaluation, which confirmed two herniated discs. The Aerial Assassin hoped to return to the Jacksonville-based promotion in time for Forbidden Door next month. Earlier today, Ospreay took to X (fka Twitter) to send a strong message to fans about his injury and targeted return.

"Thanks for all the love. I’ll do everything they need to make sure I’m fit and healthy for Forbidden Door. No promises, I can only go as quick as the healing process. But as said everyone is confident I’ll be good," wrote Ospreay.
