Kota Ibushi has returned to AEW.
On Saturday’s Collision broadcast from Kent, Washington, Mark Briscoe confronted the Don Callis Family. Briscoe stated that he was standing up for his friend Kenny Omega after last week’s attack, but Omega has other friends, which led to Ibushi’s arrival.

Ibushi joined Briscoe and erupted into a brawl with the members of the Don Callis Family.
The segment ended with Ibushi and Kazuchika Okada alone in the ring and Ibushi attacking him with a kick.

AEW is promoting another appearance by Ibushi at next week’s edition of Dynamite in Kent.
Ibushi has not appeared in AEW since November 2023, when he participated in a street fight and mixed six months of action last year due to injury. He has only wrestled sporadically over the past year, with his last set of matches occurring this past February.
