Pro wrestling veteran and AEW star Kota Ibushi suffered a career-threatening injury last October during a match on Collision. He fell off the shoulders of fellow AEW star Josh Alexander from the turnbuckle to the outside, resulting in a broken femur that required surgery. Ibushi later announced that he would not be able to return to the ring for two years.
Earlier this year, in February, Ibushi underwent another surgery after a major screw came loose.
Recently, Ibushi updated his fans on his recovery via his Instagram account. He shared that his femur has not yet been reattached. Despite this setback, he revealed that he is now able to perform a standing moonsault. Ibushi acknowledged that there is still significant room for growth and recovery, but he is determined to overcome these challenges and return to the ring one day.
This is what Kota Ibushi wrote, “My femur isn’t attached yet, but for now, challenge, challenge, challenge! I have to do it! That’s about it and that’s it. Second ring in 6 months. Moonsault hit the face. 😵 Still a lot of growth to recover! 44 years, 22 years career. From kickboxing to pro wrestling, 26 years of fighting life with no regrets! I’ll do it! I wonder if the bones are okay.”
