AEW Announces 2-Time Champion Out Indefinitely Due To Injury

All Elite Wrestling has confirmed an injury break for one of its top talents.

At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Will Ospreay was brutalized by the Death Riders after their Lights Out Steel Cage Match.

The main event clash witnessed action in and outside the ring, during which an assortment of weapons was introduced by the wrestlers.

Ospreay played one of the main roles in his team’s win, which included Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Darby Allin.

Despite being bloodied, he made his presence felt during important moments, preventing his team members from being pinned or submitted.

After the match, as the 32-year-old celebrated in the ring by acknowledging his hometown crowd in London, Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley isolated him by trapping him inside the cage.

Then, they hit him with as many as five DDTs before Moxley wrapped a chair around his neck and stomped on it, as his teammates desperately tried to get inside.

The attack left Ospreay in dire need for medical assistance; after the doctors checked on him, he was stretchered out.
