An update has come out regarding the ongoing absence of international star Kota Ibushi from AEW programming. According to a Fightful Select report, while Ibushi “is working on his visa,” this has not been the sole reason for his time away from the company for the entirety of his absence.
The report adds that “Ibushi healed up some injuries along the way as well.” No specific timeline for his full-time return to AEW action was provided.
Ibushi’s last match in AEW was on the March 13, 2024, episode of AEW Dynamite. This was where he teamed with Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page to defeat The Mogul Embassy (Swerve Strickland, Brian Cage & Kaun) in a trios match.
He was scheduled to participate in the AEW Continental Classic starting in November 2023 but was pulled due to injury before competing.
