7 Possible Outside Entrants in G1 Climax 28, Ranked From Least Likely to Most

#4: Will Ospreay

Could

Ospreay's

2018 be even more eventful?

On Jericho's podcast, Ospreay mentioned that one of his goals is to enter the G1 Climax. Only 24 and standing at a strapping 6'1, Ospreay will undoubtedly move up to heavyweight one day, he may get his wish sooner than later.

Ospreay is in contention to be Wrestler of The Year, coming off his classic bouts against Kushida, Hiromu Takahashi and Marty Scrull. ‘The Aerial Assassin’ is red-hot, having him in the G1 would attract a lot of attention.

Ospreay dropped the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship to Takahashi last Sunday at Dominion. Free from any championship commitments, that loss may have been a set-up for Ospreay’s entry into the G1.

The big question would be if Ospreay’s body could handle the G1 Climax? Ospreay’s had a rough 2018, he landed right on his head in a title defense against Marty Scrull, and he just finished competing in the Best of The Super Juniors (the junior heavyweight’s G1 equivalent). Having watched Ospreay, the fearless high flyer would jump at the chance to compete in the G1 despite his various aches and pains.

Chance: 60%
