Wheeler Yuta has weighed in on Will Ospreay’s short-lived stint with the Death Riders, telling Fightful that he believed Ospreay’s addition to the faction “was the right move at the time.”
Ospreay spent several weeks aligned with the Death Riders over the summer, a run that led many to speculate he could become a permanent member of the group. That speculation ended when Ospreay refused to attack Kenny Omega at AEW Redemption, a moment that fractured the partnership.
Speaking with Fightful, Yuta indicated that Ospreay fit in well with the Death Riders until it became clear there were certain lines he was not willing to cross, according to a separate report from Wrestling Headlines covering the same comments.
Neither report detailed further specifics about what led to Ospreay’s refusal at AEW Redemption or what comes next for him following the split from the Death Riders.
