Wrestler Kota Ibushi is set to make a comeback to DDT Pro wrestling later this month, involving himself in a match with Danshoku Dieno and Akito against Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, and Yuya Koroku, as we reported earlier.
Ibushi confirmed on Twitter that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) gave him the green light to participate in the match. In his tweet, he conveyed an excited nostalgia about returning to the ring after eight years and also gave a shout out to Akito and Dino, two wrestlers he has fond memories of. He also humorously beseeched the younger wrestlers to take it easy on him, joking that he might go all out.
The DDT Pro event is scheduled for August 25 at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall.
On a related note, we have been reporting about The Lucha Brothers’ imminent departure from AEW. The duo, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo, are expected to join WWE soon. Speaking up on Twitter, Rey Fenix proudly termed themselves as “THE BEST TAGTEAM IN ALL UNIVERSE!”, attracting attention from their fans and peers alike in Mexico.
