SEScoops has learned Will Ospreay is no longer scheduled to debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW).


Back in October, MLW announced Ospreay would be coming in some time this fall. Unfortunately, Ospreay’s MLW debut was not meant to be. We reached out to the self-proclaimed “real” IWGP World Champion, who confirmed to us that the deal is off.


We have some additional details on why the booking fell through. According to a well-placed source, MLW’s working relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling ended in mid-November.

MLW informed NJPW it was now also working with All Japan, which didn’t sit well with them. New Japan works with NOAH, but not All Japan.

Luckily, there’s no shortage of talent available on the free agent market to help MLW keep its roster fresh with top-tier talent. The company recently announced an Open Door policy for free agents. The first high-profile name to utilize this policy is reigning ROH Women’s Champion Roc-k, who is set to make her MLW debut next month.


In recent weeks, we’ve seen several big names teasing involvement with MLW. Braun Strowman has been teasing a match with MLW World Champion Hammerstone.

Former MLW World champ Shane ”Swerve” Strickland, soon to be a free agent, was also among the many wrestlers to take notice of the Open Door policy on social media.

Lmaooooo I didn't know NJPW had the CMLL policy of ending agreements if you talk with AJPW like CMLL does with AAA allies

Me neither but man...that's a big loss lmao

Idk he was probably only going to make a few appearances, woulda been good ones but I can't see Ospreay sticking around for more than like two taping cycles. Not sure if the AJPW partnership will net them anything better but they're airing a title defense that Tajiri made in Japan on Fusion soon and it's gotta be cheaper than whatever they were gonna pay Ospreay too if that matters to Court

 

[Comrade Khan]

he can show up on dynamite instead

Americans not considering foreign company politics is always hilarious to me tho lol pretty sure they were already working with AJPW when Ospreay was announced lmao so Court was negotiating with both I have to assume and just didn't disclose that until both agreed on a working relationship

Damn looks like it's the time of the month than KIF is right about dirt sheets
