Kota Ibushi made a surprise return on AEW television last
night during Collision and had a face off, and brawl, with
Kazuchika Okada.
The Japanese star is a former tag team partner of Kenny
Omega, who happened to be wrestling Okada at All In. Ibushi
and Omega were known as the Golden Lovers in New Japan Pro-
Wrestling.
Ibushi has not appeared on AEW television since November
2023 when he teamed up with Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, and
Paul Wight to take on Brian Cage, Kyle Fletcher, Powerhouse
Hobbs, and Konosuke Takeshita in an eight-man tag match.
He will return to the ring for AEW next week and this will
be his first match since February after suffering an injury.
