As previously reported, AEW star Will Ospreay is expected to be absent from the company for quite some time due to an upcoming neck surgery. Ospreay was written off television at Forbidden Door after being brutally attacked by the Death Riders and the Young Bucks, which concluded the event. With Ospreay facing major surgery followed by a lengthy rehabilitation process, his mental health may be significantly challenged.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, wrestling legend Adam Copeland has been assisting Ospreay in mentally preparing for his surgery and addressing his history with depression. Having experienced major injuries and surgeries himself, Copeland is well-positioned to provide valuable support to Ospreay. Meltzer also mentioned that wrestlers often wonder if they will be able to return to the ring after the demanding rehabilitation process.
Copeland serves as a prominent example of a wrestler who successfully returned to the ring after undergoing major surgeries, alongside Bryan Danielson.
