Kota Ibushi, the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, will be out of action for two years due to a severe injury.
Recently, Ibushi suffered a major injury during a match against Josh Alexander, which was subsequently called off. AEW still aired the match, showing Ibushi falling off the turnbuckle to the outside.
Two years until I can step into the ring again. I believe in myself more than the doctors. I absolutely don’t believe in that.
Ibushi confirmed through social media that he broke his femur, and an update on his condition revealed that the 43-year-old wrestler is unlikely to return to the ring for two years.
