AEW wrestler Kota Ibushi has shared an update on his recovery following an injury that forced him out of action since October. After competing against Josh Alexander at AEW Collision on October 11, Ibushi disclosed he had fractured his femur. He has since undergone successful surgery and is now able to move from bed to a wheelchair, albeit still experiencing some pain. Although doctors predicted a recovery period of about two years, Ibushi offered a hopeful update on Instagram, suggesting he might return sooner than expected. He expressed a strong desire to get back into the ring and asked for a little more time to prepare properly.
His post included photos of him in a wheelchair and showing signs of enduring pain, as well as one flexing his biceps. Additionally, a video showed Ibushi performing kettlebell swings, demonstrating leg mobility, though the timing of the recording is unclear. Fans and the wrestling community alike wish Kota Ibushi a swift and full recovery.
Fan Take: This update is encouraging news for AEW supporters, as Ibushi’s quicker-than-anticipated recovery could bring one of the sport’s most dynamic performers back to the ring sooner. His return would not only boost AEW’s roster but also inspire fellow wrestlers and fans alike with his resilience and determination.
