Kota Ibushi made waves in the world of pro wrestling with his stellar matches against the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito and Jay White. Unfortunately it seems that The Golden Star won’t be a hundred percent for his comeback match this week.
Kota Ibushi parted ways with New Japan Pro Wrestling amid serious differences with the company. It was previously reported that Ibushi was interested in having high-profile matches in WWE, should he sign with the promotion.
The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion took to Twitter to reveal that he suffered an injury ahead of his comeback match. According to Ibushi, he injured his right shoulder while training at an MMA gym.
I understand a lot, but this is a comeback match. . Why do I only feel like I’m being disrespected so badly? I wonder why I injured my right shoulder again at the MMA gym.
Well, the second day is also suspicious, but I will do my best not to break and show the power of the Japanese.

Ibushi is set to make his comeback against Mike Bailey at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 9. The event will take place at the Ukranian Cultural Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 30.
