Hiroshi Tanahashi has made an offer.
Will Ospreay is currently scheduled to face "Speedball" Mike Bailey at IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United, but he is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in the New Japan Cup tournament against Mark Davis.
While Ospreay had not been officially been pulled from Multiverse United, Hiroshi Tanahashi offered to take his spot against Bailey if Ospreay is unable to compete.
棚橋「３月30日（現地時間）、新日本プロレスとIMPACT! 合同大会があって。経緯を話すと…オスプレイが、ケガがあると。そこにこの切り札が……代打の切り札が、馳せ参じます。俺を選んだことを、後悔するよ。俺が一番の、インパクトを残してやる」

IMPACT and NJPW subsequently confirmed that Tanahashi will replace Ospreay as Bailey's opponent at Multiverse United.
Ospreay recently had to withdraw from Sunday's Revolution Pro event due to his injury.
It is unknown when he will return to the ring.
Fightful will update fans on Ospreay's condition when more is known. Fans can check out the lineup for NJPW x IMPACT Multiverse United by clicking here.
