Will Ospreay asks United Empire for help: ‘I’ve got some trouble at work’
Will Ospreay has asked his United Empire teammates for help.
Ospreay wrestled his first match in Japan in two years on Saturday at Sakura Genesis. United Empire member Callum Newman won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in the main event. After the show, Newman was addressing the media backstage when Ospreay approached him and said:
“There’s something I kind of wanted to talk to you guys about. I didn’t want to do this in front of you on your big moment. I’ve got some trouble at work, and I could really do with some backup. I know you just wrestled. I could really use a hand.”
Newman told Ospreay they would talk about it.
Ospreay’s reunion with the stable he formed in 2020 did not go seamlessly at Sakura Genesis. He was shown visibly disapproving of Great O-Khan and HENARE attacking their opponents after their match. Later in the main event, Zane Jay encouraged Newman to use a chair on Yota Tsuji, but Ospreay persuaded him not to.
