Additionally, Ospreay himself has said that TNA is in the running for his next home. Ospreay has also stated that he is open to potentially moving to the United States and joining WWE.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) reports that Ospreay’s mind has “opened up” regarding his future. Per Sapp, WWE has shown “heavy interest”, and sources claimed that there have been conversations between the two sides. However, sources close to Ospreay would not confirm that.
Additionally, Sapp writes that WWE sources confirmed the company’s interest, and they have made “preliminary overtures” towards Ospreay. WWE did not comment on the situation in an official capacity.

Sapp’s report also notes that TNA and AEW remain interested in Ospreay. Both companies indicated that they have enjoyed working with him. Otherwise, specifics of the deals being discussed are not clear. Overall, it’s clear that there is plenty of interest in Ospreay all over the globe.
