WWE reportedly wanted Will Ospreay to be a part of their upcoming Cruiserweight Classic tournament. As reported last month here on eWrestlingNews.com, Ospreay signed a two-year deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling. The deal is exclusive to NJPW and thus he was unable to participate in the tournament. WWE was considering trying to work through NJPW in order to use him but it never worked out.
For what it’s worth, Ospreay won this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors Tournament.
