Kota Ibushi Reveals Shocking One-Year Recovery Timeline After Injury

BREAKING: Kota Ibushi has just revealed a devastating update regarding his injury sustained during AEW Collision. The celebrated Japanese wrestler announced on Instagram that he faces a staggering one-year recovery period and two years before he can return to the ring.

In a candid video, Ibushi displayed the extent of his injury, which includes a fractured femur. He expressed his determination, stating, “I believe in myself more than the doctors… I know I have amazing DNA that gives me the ability to heal!!” His commitment to recovery is a hopeful sign for fans, but the reality of a prolonged hiatus is concerning.

Ibushi signed with AEW in November 2023, and in August, he confirmed a two-year extension, locking him into AEW until 2027. His tenure has already seen remarkable moments, including his debut at Blood and Guts and high-stakes matches against notable competitors like Kazuchika Okada.

Unfortunately, Ibushi’s injury history has been fraught with challenges. Following a shoulder injury in the 2021 G1 Climax, he returned in early 2023 but faced another setback at NOAH’s New Year event in January 2024. This latest injury certainly disrupts his storyline plans and leaves fans eagerly awaiting his comeback.

Ibushi is not alone in facing obstacles; fellow AEW star Kenny Omega has been grappling with health issues, including a serious case of Diverticulitis. Other top talents such as Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland are also sidelined for an undisclosed period, raising concerns about AEW’s roster depth.

As the wrestling community reacts to this news, fans are left wondering how this will impact AEW’s future storylines and events. The urgency of Ibushi’s recovery timeline will be closely monitored, and updates are anticipated.

Stay tuned for more developments on Kota Ibushi’s condition and AEW’s evolving landscape as these stories unfold. The wrestling world is holding its breath for The Golden Star’s return to the ring.
