Big Free Agent Expected To Join AEW – Details
The upcoming Blood & Guts match on the July 19th episode of AEW Dynamite will take place between The Elite (Kenny Omega, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, The Young Bucks & a surprise partner) and The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Konosuke Takeshita & a surprise partner).
The bout takes place as AEW and Kota Ibushi have begun talking.
Fightful Select reports, “Most of the talent we spoke to this week are of the belief that he would be joining the company in some capacity, specifically for the upcoming Blood & Guts show. AEW hasn’t made an official announcement and he’s not been nearly as public of late.”
The report noted that Kota has reduced his media obligations due to his schedule picking up in the future.
The report added, “A source close to Ibushi in Japan is saying he’s planning to work the upcoming AEW show.”
Omega dropped a hint about their partner after Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, which you can see below:

• An old friend who Kenny recruited last month (but not in Canada!)

• He cares about the Elite, this promotion & changing the face of pro wrestling 🙂 pic.twitter.com/HSYMlTwiHB— Drainmaker 🌧️ 💵 (@DrainBamager) July 6, 2023
