In an interview with Metro in the United Kingdom, current IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay discussed several topics, including the potential of him signing with the WWE when his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expires in February 2024.
“I mean, we have spoke about it more, I’m now open to the idea of stretching myself out that little bit more. 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. 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, that means I am open to all options going forward.
I’ve never had the machine behind me, I’ve never had guys tell me to talk this way, walk this way, look to the hard cam at all times, 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, I understand that, I really do, but if I sacrifice who I am, then I don’t think anything I do is authentic.”
