So having said that, you know, I don’t know if this ride’s going to be a long one, if everyone understands what I mean... But you know, I don’t know how long this ride's going to be, I’ll be honest with you guys. I hope you guys enjoy the ride, that’s all. Alright. Much love guys," said Will Ospreay.ᵂⁱˡˡ ᴼˢᵖʳᵉᵃʸ • ウィル・オスプレイ@WillOspreay9224866https://t.co/eOxwUGg57mWill the NJPW legend show up in Tony Khan's promotion again?
