Is Kota Ibushi Debuting in America for AEW?

Kota Ibushi, one of the biggest names in professional wrestling today, is currently a free agent as his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) has recently expired. With his impressive in-ring abilities and charismatic persona, fans are eager to know where he will end up next.

One of the most talked-about rumors is that he may be signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This move would bring a huge boost to AEW's already impressive roster, and fans are already excited about the possibility of seeing Ibushi competing in the ring against some of the biggest names in the industry.

Ibushi spoke to the wrestling Twitter account Dark Emerald Fusion and had the following to say. Of course it was translated from Japanese to English.

“About money, I think it’s very much unnecessary, but for me the things I care about and what’s necessary [for me] are more important. So I don’t want to be in a match without meaning. There aren’t a lot of matches without meaning, but I think I’ll show up in places in the future that truly and fully understand me.”

Ibushi has already had a successful stint in AEW, as he won the 2021 New Year's Smash tournament, and his matches with Kenny Omega have been some of the most highly-praised bouts of the past few years. He has also won multiple championships in NJPW, including the IWGP Intercontinental and Heavyweight Championships, further solidifying his status as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world.

The thought of Ibushi joining AEW is already generating a lot of buzz, and fans are eager to see what kind of impact he will have on the company. If the rumors are true, AEW will be adding a new level of excitement to their roster, and fans can expect to see some incredible matches in the near future.

In conclusion, while nothing has been officially announced yet, the possibility of Kota Ibushi joining AEW is definitely worth keeping an eye on. Whether he signs with AEW or chooses another path, one thing is for sure - the future looks bright for this talented wrestler.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
