Kenny Omega Provides Update On Kota Ibushi’s AEW Future

AEW

Kota Ibushi took part in his third match for All Elite Wrestling at last night’s AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view event.

Ibushi teamed with his Golden Lovers partner Kenny Omega, as well as Chris Jericho, in a losing effort to Will Ospreay, Konosuke Takeshita and Sammy Guevara of the Don Callis Family.

Following the show, Kenny Omega appeared on the AEW WrestleDream media scrum, where he was asked about Ibushi’s future in AEW, and whether we will see him again in AEW.

He responded:

“I believe it’s definitely a safe bet to say he’ll be back. Ibushi and I, we’ve really gone through the ringer. We’ve been tossed into the meat grinder. Part of the reason I was motivated to go to DDT in the first place was because of Kota Ibushi. I really felt attracted to his style and outlook on professional wrestling. We’ve done everything we could to leave it all out there. We’ve broken ourselves over and over again, just to build ourselves back up to break each other down again.

“I really feel like when there is no else around us and our pursuit of our own personal best, we are each other’s shoulders to cry on. It really means a lot, now, after all this time apart, in our current old man broken states, to be there and support each other. Still train together for these matches and still go in front of a packed house and with people like Chris and make magic.”

Omega and Jericho are set to team up to face Sammy Guevara and Konosuke Takeshita on this week’s episode of Dynamite.
