Miyu Yamashita Pitches Will Ospreay Dream Match In TJPW

Miyu Yamashita has an intergender dream match in mind, and it turns out Will Ospreay is open to it.

In a new interview with Nikkan Sports, the TJPW standout and reigning Pro-Wrestling: EVE International Champion revealed that she has already broached the subject of a showdown with Ospreay, who helps book EVE and has become a familiar presence on the UK independent scene through that role. Yamashita is a regular fixture for EVE, and her comments suggest the two have discussed the idea directly rather than it simply being speculation from fans or media.

Ospreay, for his part, indicated he is game for the idea, giving some real traction to a matchup that would cross gender lines and blend two very different in-ring styles — Yamashita’s hard-striking, high-impact joshi work against Ospreay’s high-flying, aerial-based offense. Intergender matches remain rare in mainstream pro wrestling, but EVE has built part of its identity around exactly that kind of boundary-pushing booking, making it a logical home if the match were ever to happen.

Nothing concrete has been announced, and there’s no word yet on when or where such a bout might take place, whether under EVE’s banner or elsewhere. Ospreay continues to be one of the most in-demand wrestlers in the world, splitting his time across AEW and various global promotions, while Yamashita remains one of the top stars in Japan’s TJPW promotion and a titleholder in EVE.

Given both wrestlers appear willing, it’s a pairing worth watching for as their respective schedules — and EVE’s own booking plans — start to take shape in the months ahead.
