Will Ospreay believes he will likely work out a new contract with NJPW after his current agreement expires next year. 

The 29-year-old confirmed in an interview with DAZN earlier this week that his deal with the company is up in February 2024. However, Ospreay recently told Dark Puroresu Flowsion that he is confident he and NJPW will reach an agreement for him to remain with the promotion. 

Ospreay said:

“I just wanna know what my options are doesn’t mean I’m leaving NJPW. I’m fairly positive me & NJPW will work out a deal but in case we dont I want to provide for my family, wrestle how I wanna wrestle & most importantly be happy”

Ospreay previously told DAZN:

“My contract with New Japan is up next February so from that point who’s not gonna want this kid who’s dedicated to being a hard worker and wanting to put on the best quality of matches?” 

Ospreay has been with NJPW since 2016 and has racked up an impressive resume with the promotion. He is a former one-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, one-time IWGP United States Champion, three-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, one-time NEVER Openweight Champion, won the BOSJ in 2016 & 2019, and won the New Japan Cup in 2021.
