Will Ospreay Written Out After Brutal AEW Forbidden Door Attack

At the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event in London, Hiroshi Tanahashi concluded his wrestling career with a victory in a brutal unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage match alongside teammates Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Darby Allin against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, The Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd. The match was notable for its intense violence and high-risk spots, including a dramatic finish with Tanahashi pinning Matt Jackson. Tragically, Will Ospreay suffered a serious post-match attack targeting his already injured neck, which served as a storyline to explain his upcoming surgery for two herniated discs, necessitating a lengthy absence from wrestling. Despite his injury, Ospreay delivered an impressive performance, rallying the crowd with his resilience and athleticism. The event highlighted the dangers wrestlers face and raised concerns about Ospreay's future while fans celebrated Tanahashi's celebrated final match. Ospreay, a hometown star in London, expressed deep appreciation for the crowd's support and challenged them to break the sound record during the event, underscoring his connection to the UK audience.
