Will Ospreay, currently working under a contract for New Japan Pro Wrestling, will soon challenge Jay Lethal for the Ring of Honor title, according to The Wrestling Observer<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

During Saturday night’s television tapings, Ospreay sent in a challenge to Lethal through video, a challenge Lethal immediately accepted. The match will take place at Death Before Dishonor XVI<\/em>, scheduled for September 28 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Lethal is in the midst of his second reign as ROH World champion, having won the title in a four-way match back in June. Ospreay, a former ROH Television champion, will look to claim the company’s top prize while currently competing for New Japan.<\/p>\n

Lethal defeated Jay Briscoe back in September 2014 to win his first ROH title. That reign lasted well over a year before he was defeated by Adam Cole at Death Before Dishonor XIV<\/em>.<\/p>\n
