Tanahashi versus Speedball is locked in.
Following Hiroshi Tanahashi’s match at the New Japan Cup final show, he offered to fill in for Will Ospreay at NJPW x IMPACT Multiverse United.
Ospreay was scheduled to take on ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey but he suffered a right shoulder injury that caused him to pull out of New Japan Cup tournament. Ospreay was also pulled from a Revolution Pro Wrestling event this weekend.
He will not be able to make Multiverse United and Hiroshi Tanahashi is taking that spot.
Due to injury, @WillOspreay is unable to compete at Multiverse United on 3/30.
Answering the call to take on @SpeedballBailey will be @tanahashi1_100!
