Will Ospreay Recalls HENARE Returning To War Dogs/United Empire Steel Cage Match, ‘He Fought Like A F*cking Warrior’
Will Ospreay praises HENARE.
Ospreay wrapped up his run with NJPW in February 2024, teaming with his fellow United Empire members to face the Bullet Club War Dogs in a ten-man steel cage match. At one point in the match, HENARE returned to the action with his head bandaged after suffering a head wound at the hands of Gabe Kidd.
Taking to social media, Will Ospreay said that everyone was telling HENARE to return to the back. Instead, the 33 year old taped a towel to his head and fought “like a fucking warrior”.
He nearly died, we were all telling him to go back with the trainer.
He looked at me and said “I’m finishing this”
