AEW

An AEW star has confirmed that they suffered a serious injury at this week’s AEW Collision tapings in Jacksonville.

On this week’s AEW Collision show, Kota Ibushi was in action against the Don Callis Family’s Josh Alexander.

However, the match was cut short after Ibushi suffered an injury, which was reported to be a broken femur, after a rough bump to the outside during the match.

Taking to Instagram today, Kota confirmed his broken femur injury, but noted that he doesn’t plan on this being the end of his career after receiving a letter and flowers from Tony Khan.

He wrote (translated):

“Again? Again?

“I’ve only had serious injuries. This is a broken femur, and the broken bone is trying to break through the flesh. They told me to stop, but the surgery was completed successfully!!

“(Unless I get another serious injury) I plan to live my life as a normal person from now on. It’s been about five years of breaking, healing, and accidents but it didn’t end like this, right?

“Above all, the best boss Tony Khan and my colleague as vice president Kenny Omega, Nakazawa-san, who helped me with so many things

“I can’t believe the president himself gave me a bouquet and a letter. After something like this, I can’t quit again!! I cried.

“I don’t know if it will take a year or a year and a half, but I’ll start by doing something. Right now, I’m in so much pain that I can only move my toes. I was surprised that I still had a sense of pain. Mr. Tony Khan…I just have to keep trying “

We wish Kota all the best and a full and complete recovery from his injury.
