– According to Dave Meltzer on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Will Ospreay suffered a shoulder injury during his New Japan Cup Second Round match yesterday against Mark Davis.

Meltzer stated that the injury occurred when David picked the mats up off the floor and put them over Ospreay. Then he delivered a senton to Ospreay. Also, while the nature of Ospreay’s shoulder injury is unknown, Ospreay reportedly said that he “heard it pop.”

Ospreay went on and continued the match, which he won. He’ll have until Friday to heal, as he’s currently scheduled to face EVIL in the quarterfinals of the New Japan Cup Tournament on that date (Mar. 17).
