Will Ospreay Elevated To Heavyweight Division After RevPro Title Win

Will Ospreay finally won the RevPro British Heavyweight Championship on Friday. Not only was the win his first over Suzuki-gun’s Zack Sabre Jr., but it marked the wrestler’s official jump from the jr. heavyweight division to the heavyweight division.

Ospreay has been flirting with the heavyweight division for all of 2019, starting with a NEVER Title reign in January, and culminating in his participation in this year’s G1 Climax.

7 years put to rest. New British Heavyweight Champion. I will now officially make the jump and be competing in the Heavyweight division.
