AEW star Will Ospreay shared an unfortunate personal update.
Will Ospreay was one of the stars in action during the recent AEW Grand Slam: Mexico event. He was involved in a 10-man tag team match with The Opps and Swerve Strickland against the Death Riders, The Young Bucks, and Beast Mortos. As it turns out, he was also fighting another battle behind the scenes.
In a recent post on X/Twitter, Ospreay shared that after landing in Mexico at 3 am, he received a call with the news that his grandfather had passed away that morning. The AEW star shared that they were close and Ospreay considered him a hero.
Personal note. I landed in Mexico this morning at 3am. Once landed I had a phone call from my mum telling me my grandad had passed that morning. Extremely close to my Grandad, he was a bloody hero to me. Your love & support eased my pain, Thank you so much.”
