On January 2, 2024, AEW’s Kota Ibushi injured both of his ankles during a match against Naomichi Marufuji. Ibushi has since had surgery on both of his ankles, leaving him out of action. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ibushi is expected to be out of action for six months to a year as he recovers. Ibushi was signed to AEW last year and lasted wrestled for the promotion on November 15, 2023.

Ibushi is a star when he is around. Check out what he has done in AEW and in WWE:

Opinion: Egads that is awful as you never want to see someone get injured in any way, let alone with kind of injury that is going to leave them out of action for that long. Ibushi barely got a star in AEW and now he is down with this kind of an injury. Hopefully he can recover sooner than later and be closer to six months than a year, but you never can tell with something like this.
