Kota Ibushi has shared a positive update on his road to recovery.
The Golden Star was injured during an AEW Collision taping earlier this month after taking a nasty bump on the outside in his match against Josh Alexander, resulting in an awkward landing. Ibushi had to be stretchered to the back before Tony Khan came to the stage and confirmed his injury.
In an update, Kota Ibushi revealed that he underwent surgery for the broken femur he suffered in the match. While he promised to return to the squared circle, Ibushi stated that the injury will keep him out of action for at least two years.
Kota Ibushi shares recovery update
Taking to Instagram, Ibushi announced that he has been discharged from the hospital and thanked the staff, Kenny Omega, Tony Khan, and Michael Nakazawa for their support during this difficult time.
“Finally made it to the wheelchair,†Ibushi wrote. “This is also the help of nurses, Mr. Nakazawa, Mr. Kenny, President Tony Khan, and many other dedicated people and fans who were able to move from bed to wheelchair. Of course Iâ€m in no more pain, extreme pain. In such a short period of time my legs and body have gotten thinner, and I have lost 12.4 kilograms, but this is just the beginning of post-operation. From here on out itâ€s all my choices how I heal and the future will change. Cure the best for the bodies!
“For the first time Iâ€ve seen a place where there are other jobs outside of professional wrestling, but the CEO himself gives a lot of work. Contract extension extension,,,no words to say. Kenny is also vice president but doing his best. What should I repay it? Pro wrestling has to be returned by pro wrestling!! ï¸Now, Iâ€m dedicating what I can to my company and fans.†(Translation via Instagram)
