According to the Observer, Will Ospreay has signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling and he's scheduled for the Best of the Super Juniors tournament in May. It's possible he could debut before then.
Dave Meltzer also reported Ospreay signing with NJPW cost him a push in TNA, where he debuted on a show in the UK but was used only in a short match and wasn't taped for an episode of Impact. However, Rockstar Spud took to Twitter to dispute this:
.@davemeltzerWON clearing up @MandrewsTNA & @WillOspreay went short on time by miscommunication. Office/Roster loves Will. You are wrong.

In addition to all this, Gabe Sapolsky announced Ospreay is coming to EVOLVE during WrestleMania weekend:

Ospreay has generated plenty of of hype on the independent scene and is working his way up the ladder in pro wrestling. At just 22-years-old, he's got plenty of time.
