Kota Ibushi is one of the talented Japanese pro wrestlers that the fans have witnessed. While, some top Japanese stars have competed inside an AEW ring, fans have been wondering whether Ibushi will have a run in the Jacksonville-based company.
Kota Ibushi talks about a potential run in AEW
This was confirmed by Ibushi himself early Tuesday afternoon when he was asked by a fan if he was going to AEW.
“At least once,” Ibushi said.
When another fan responded to Ibushi regarding their high hopes for his run with AEW, Ibushi had this to say about working for the promotion.
“I’m going because there are kind of a lot of AEW expectations, maybe three times,” Ibushi tweeted. “I can’t promise that the card will be set up correctly, but Lovers can.”
It is believed that the “Lovers” Ibushi was referring to was the tag team between himself and AEW star Kenny Omega, best known as The Golden Lovers. The duo teamed together from 2009 to 2014, and again in 2018 before Omega left to join AEW. Just minutes later, Ibushi was then asked who he would like to wrestle the most in AEW. His answer was a former opponent of his and a former AEW World Champion.
Ibushi is currently injured and there is still no timetable for his return to the ring.
“Adam Page,” Ibushi said.
