In a recent interview with Tom Hannifan to discuss IMPACT Wrestling’s decision to revert to their iconic TNA Wrestling name, IMPACT Wrestling President Scott D’Amore discussed several topics, including the possibility of current IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay signing with TNA Wrestling when his contract expires in February 2024.
“I mean look, Will Ospreay is arguably the greatest wrestler in the world right now, and I don’t think anybody, I don’t know if it’s even disputable, that 2023 Will Ospreay is having one of the greatest years of any wrestler in history, so I think any company that said they didn’t want Will Ospreay at the center of their universe would be lying.
Will’s kind of been pretty honest and upfront about what’s happening, and the fact that he’s going to be a free agent soon, and the second that his contract expires, he becomes the hottest free agent in professional wrestling.
Would we love to have Will Ospreay, absolutely, Will Ospreay is a great talent, you saw two examples of that this weekend, you saw him and Mike Bailey put on a match of the year candidate, only the people there have saw it live so far, but you’ll see it on an upcoming week of IMPACT weekly television, Will Ospreay and Josh Alexander went out there and put on an unbelievable match.
That opportunity is open to Will Ospreay, and I can tell you that I’ve had conversations with Anthem Sports and everything else and let them know, and they’re well aware of who Will Ospreay is and you know, I don’t know where Will Ospreay is going to end up, but there’s certainly a seat at the table here and a meaningful one where he could be at the center of a lot of that advancement and change that we talk about.”
