As first reported by F4WOnline, then confirmed by Fightful Select, AEW’s Will Ospreay is set to undergo neck surgery in the next couple of weeks.
Ospreay currently has two herniated discs he needs repaired.
After July’s All In pay-per-view in at the O2 Arena in London, Ospreay revealed on the fallout episode of Dynamite that he would wrestle at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, even though he wasn’t cleared. He did compete in the Lights Out Steel Cage Match main event, having teamed up with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi and Darby Allin to defeat Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd and the Young Bucks.
After the match, AEW did an angle with Ospreay being attacked in the ring by the Death Riders, Kidd and the Bucks, where he was stretched out of the ring.
At the time of this writing, there is no timeline of when Ospreay will return.
