Before starting with AEW full-time, Will Ospreay will accomplish his goal of stepping into a TNA Wrestling ring.
It was announced today that Ospreay will compete at TNA's television taping in Las Vegas on Sunday, January 14. Snake Eyes is the name of the taping. It's taking place at the Palms Casino Resort one day after TNA's Hard to Kill pay-per-view.
Impact Wrestling's name change back to TNA Wrestling officially goes into effect starting with Hard to Kill.
Ospreay wrestled three matches for Impact Wrestling this October, returning to the promotion for the first time since 2016. He defeated "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Josh Alexander, and Eddie Edwards.
After his match against Alexander, Ospreay spoke to the crowd and declared that he needs to step foot into a TNA ring. Ospreay said Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles from TNA is the first match that he ever saw -- and it's what made him want to become a pro wrestler.
Ospreay was unveiled as AEW's new blockbuster signing at last month's Full Gear PPV. Before opting to sign with AEW, Ospreay reportedly received a "seven-figure level" contract offer from TNA.
Ospreay is still under NJPW contract until February 2024.
Matches from TNA's Snake Eyes taping will air on future episodes of Impact on AXS TV.
