Will Ospreay open to WWE, relocating to USA

[Chris]

Will Ospreay is open to the idea of joining WWE.

The 30-year-old's NJPW contract expires in February and he recently told Sports Illustrated that he will "explore every single option" when it does.

Ospreay was recently asked by Metro about the possibility of him signing with WWE.

"I mean, we have spoke about it more. I’m now open to the idea of stretching myself out that little bit more," Ospreay responded. "As age has become more apparent to me and my body is hurting more and more, I’m open to all avenues. I’ve had a lot of talks with my friends about this, and I have spoke to the missus."

Ospreay also mentioned that he and his significant other are open to possibly relocating to the United States.

"Although we’ve spent so much money on our new kitchen, we are open to the idea of relocating to the United States."

"It’s on the table, that’s all I can really say,’ he added. ‘That means I am open to all options going forward."

Ospreay also addressed the possibility of wrestling Seth Rollins in WWE. The two were involved in a brief spat in 2019 when Rollins posted "Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it. Ya can’t" to Twitter. In a since-deleted post, Ospreay responded, writing, "I'm alive."



Rollins later apologized for his comments.

"So the Seth thing does intrigue me quite a lot. I heard him say in a promo, his 100% is the best in the world," Ospreay continued. "My 50% is the best in the world, so if you actually got me at 100% I think you’d drown in these waters mate."

Still, Ospreay understands that wrestling in WWE would be unlike what he is used to.

"I’ve never had the machine behind me. I’ve never had guys tell me to walk this way, talk this way, look to the hard cam at all times," he said. "I’ve always done things on my own, I’ve gambled by myself and everything I’ve ever done has been off my own back."

"So everything is motivated towards not only my family, but I want to feel like a wrestler. I feel like a lot of people give up on that side, they just want the money," he added. "I understand that, I really do, but if I sacrifice who I am then I don’t think anything I do is authentic."

I think he'd be allowed to do whatever he wanted under the HHH regime. Just dont stick him in NXT because hes leaps and bounds above them except for maybe Carmelo.

He's just upping his price

This.

He’s creating his own bidding war. And someone is going to back up the Brinks truck to sign up.

Omega and The Bucks did the same before re-signing with AEW. Just good business sense. Same agent too as of this summer.

And boy oh boy did that Seth Rollins tweet age like milk

 

[Bad News Booty]

I’d put it at 50/50 odds
I think Trips will make a big offer

I still would not rule out New Japan either tbh

 

[Deadd2009]

If it's New Japan, only because they promised him another run with the world title since his one and only ended too early cause of injury.

Few years ago I imagine that there is a lot of intrest on both sides. Don't forget Blair Davenport his significant other is in WWE. I think thar will play into it.
