Kota Ibushi Blames Thin Wrestling Shoes For Movement Issues During Blood And Guts Match

Kota Ibushi did not look as good as in previous performances at AEW Blood And Guts, but many fans attributed this to a nagging injury or ring rust. However, the issue was actually neither.

Taking to social media, Ibushi reflected on his performance in the Blood And Guts match, blaming his thin wrestling shoes for his movement in the match.

I’m home
It’s my fault that I didn’t know thumbtacks and glass after all this time.
I have thin wrestling shoes, so it penetrated and it was just painful from the middle, and I ended up moving like an old man.
I’m sorry! Far from being unable to kick, both ankles were stiff

Life with a cane for the first time in my life No, I’ll be cured tomorrow! That is Kota Ibushi!

ただいま❗
今更ながら画鋲やガラスなんてしらなかった自分が悪い。
自分は薄いレスリングシューズだから貫通してきて途中からひたすら痛くておじいさまのような動きになってしまった。
くやしい！蹴れないどころか両足首がぶっ凝れた

It is unknown when, or if , Kota will return to All Elite Wrestling.

The Golden Elite would end up winning the Blood And Guts match after Jon Moxley surrendered the match for the Blackpool Combat Club.
