Will Ospreay is expected to undergo surgery in the coming weeks. The former AEW International Champion has been dealing with herniated discs that have been affecting his performance inside the squared circle for the past year. Following All In: Texas, the English pro wrestler revealed that he will need surgery to repair the neck injury.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Ariel Assassin is slated to undergo the procedures in the next few weeks for his surgery. Following this treatment, Ospreay is expected to miss in-ring action for an extended period of time.

His last appearance was at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view last month. He competed alongside Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Darby Allin, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in a Lights Out Steel Cage Match, defeating The Young Bucks, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Gabe Kidd. However, in the closing moments of the event, he was attacked by The Death Riders, an attack that wrote him off TV.

On the most recent episode of Dynamite, Ospreay’s fiancée, Alex Windsor, performed Takagi’s iconic 'Made in Japan' move. Responding to the spot on X, Will revealed that he made Windsor study Takagi’s matches to make sure she learned the move.

Takagi and Ospreay have been fierce rivals in NJPW. They have had several matches in Japan over the years. Their feud marked a pivotal stage in both stars' careers.
