New Japan Pro Wrestling

New Japan Pro Wrestling has uploaded an interview with Will Ospreay ahead of his match against Kota Ibushi for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Sakura Genesis on April 4.

At the very end of the interview, Ospreay briefly talks about the newest member of the United Empire who will also debut at Sakura Genesis.

He said: It’s someone new. There are people around, believe me, that will be coming as soon as we can get them here in Japan. Some people that you might know already, some people wrestling in other companies right now. But this guy? This is someone that realized it was time to do things his own way and reached out very recently. That’s all I’ll say.”
