26-year old aerial dazzler Will Ospreay has grown into a pro wrestling phenomenon since first catching the eye for Progress in the UK. He's currently signed to New Japan, and that probably means he's not going anywhere else, including WWE or AEW, for the foreseeable future; Japan gives Ospreay everything he wants from wrestling, and he recently moved there with his girlfriend Bea Priestley.

Is this the end of WWE's chances? No, not quite. Who knows what could happen in years to come, and there's certainly been no ruling out of anything from Will's side. He's too smart for that. The high-flyer, who undoubtedly caused one of modern wrestling's biggest talking points by working that match against Ricochet, knows his value.

Therein lies the problem.

WWE may not view Ospreay as a potential top star. That's something he definitely is in New Japan, and his recent Best Of The Super Juniors win proved it yet again. The 'Aerial Assassin' is in a great spot, and he doesn't necessarily need WWE.

Which other wrestlers do you think WWE should sign ASAP? Let us know down in the comments section below!
