Will Ospreay hopes RevPro British Heavyweight title is defended at Forbidden Door
Will Ospreay wants to see Revolution Pro Wrestling’s Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship defended at Forbidden Door 2025.
Forbidden Door is being held in London this year with The O2 Arena set to host the pay-per-view on Sunday, August 24. It’s the fourth straight year that AEW and NJPW have joined forces for the event. While speaking with Q101’s Case Lowe, Ospreay said that — in addition to AEW, NJPW, CMLL, ROH, and Stardom wrestlers — he’s hoping that RevPro will be involved because of how important the British indie promotion was to his development.
“I really do hope we can get RevPro on there, because they was such a huge hand in my upbringing and my journey in pro wrestling,” Ospreay said. “Like, I would really love to have the British Heavyweight Championship defended on that show.”
The Undisputed British Heavyweight title is currently held by Michael Oku, who is on his second reign as champion. Oku competed for AEW at an ROH taping in Boston earlier this month.
AEW star Mercedes Mone is RevPro’s Undisputed British Women’s Champion, holding that belt in addition to the TBS Championship and NJPW Strong Women’s Championship.
RevPro has an official partnership with NJPW and has also worked with AEW despite not having a formal relationship with them at the moment.
Ospreay is the most prominently featured wrestler on the poster for Forbidden Door 2025. He told Q101 that being able to wrestle at The O2 is truly a blessing. He grew up 35 minutes from the venue and will now be competing there for the first time
“The fact that I’m going to be front and center for that show truly is a blessing and a huge responsibility that I’m willing to take on and ready for that responsibility,” Ospreay said.
No matches for Forbidden Door have been announced yet.
