By Mike Johnson on 2023-03-21 10:15:00

Hiroshi Tanahashi, during a post-match press conference in Japan, tossed out the idea of himself substituting for Will Ospreay, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, at the 3/31 New Japan Pro Wrestling x Impact Wrestling Multiverse United event in Los Angeles.

Ospreay is slated to face Speedball Mike Bailey.

There has been no official announcement of a change to the event, but given how New Japan runs things, they didn't have it thrown out there for no reason.

The current official lineup features:

*Will Ospreay vs. Mike Bailey

*Impact Wrestling Champion Josh Alexander vs. KUSHIDA.

*Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champions Mickie James  vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. Gisele Shaw vs. Miyu Yamashita.

*KENTA vs. Minoru Suzuki

*Fred Rosser & Alex Coughlin & PCO & Sami Callihan vs. Impact Wrestling Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry & Tom Lawlor & JR Kratos & Eddie Edwards.
