5 NJPW wrestlers who could jump to WWE in 2019

#2 Will Ospreay

Despite being only 24, Ospreay is a well-traveled veteran. The six-year pro has been going hard all over the globe, delivering fantastic performance after another. Dave Meltzer said that Ospreay is "probably the best wrestler in the world".

But those performances come with a price; if he continues his globe-trotting ways, he may end up with a laundry list of injuries before he hits 30. Next year may be the time he follows his friend Ricochet to the Performance Center.

However, there's still a lot for 'The Aerial Assassin' to do in NJPW and the indies. Ospreay's passionate about turning Australia into a hot territory; he's publicly talked about moving to the country. There are still many showdowns in NJPW for him including a dream match against Rey Mysterio (unless WWE snaps up Mysterio before that). Standing at a strapping 6'1, Ospreay will likely be given a chance in the heavyweight division as well.

If Ospreay does make the jump, he could likely be placed in 205 Live. Triple H has taken over 205 Live and the programme has improved greatly since. The plan is for the cruiserweight brand to start touring in 2018, to do that they need marque superstars, Ospreay fits that bill.

Would that be enough for Ospreay? His exposure would be limited to a 1-hour WWE Network programme, PPV pre-shows, and venues smaller than the ones he performs in now. If Ospreay hears the words "Two. Oh. Five.", he should stay grounded.
