Kota Ibushi may end up in AEW sometime soon.
Kota Ibushi has not wrestled a single match since his loss to Kazuchika Okada in the G1 Climax 31 finals of New Japan Pro Wrestling back in October of last year. He suffered a shoulder injury which put him on the shelf. His in-ring return status has been a question since then.
While speaking on the Flagship Wrestling Podcast, Joe Lanza said that Tony Khan would not hesitate to sign the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion once his NJPW contract expires.
It was further reported that Ibushi might join CyberFight, the parent company of DDT and Pro Wrestling NOAH. The contract he was offered is more lucrative compared to his current NJPW contract.
Time will tell where Ibushi will end up, but whoever holds his signature will be signing one of the best wrestlers in the world.
