Hiroshi Tanahashi To Replace Will Ospreay At IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United
Hiroshi Tanahashi has made an offer.
Will Ospreay is currently scheduled to face “Speedball” Mike Bailey at IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United, but he is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in the New Japan Cup tournament against Mark Davis.
While Ospreay had not been officially been pulled from Multiverse United, Hiroshi Tanahashi offered to take his spot against Bailey if Ospreay is unable to compete.

IMPACT and NJPW subsequently confirmed that Tanahashi will replace Ospreay as Bailey’s opponent at Multiverse United.
Ospreay recently had to withdraw from Sunday’s Revolution Pro event due to his injury.
It is unknown when he will return to the ring.
Fightful will update fans on Ospreay’s condition when more is known. Fans can check out the lineup for NJPW x IMPACT Multiverse United by clicking here.
