Kota Ibushi Ankles Injuries Update – Ibushi Says His New Visa Is Finally Arriving & Able to Do Phoenix Splash Again for His Training

As noted before, Kota Ibushi has been out of action for AEW since January of 2024 due to injuries to both of his ankles and surgery.

Ibushi provided an update earlier today on Instagram stating that his new work visa is finally arriving and he is able to do the Phoenix Splash again as part of his training for his potential in-ring return.

“Heavyweight backflip
It’s been years since I last did it, I was shocked lol
I’ll be 43 next month
Finally recovered
Miraculous Phoenix Splash since the accident
Still got 45 points

I can do it if I try. It’s been years since I last did it…
I won’t run away, I won’t lose, I won’t give up!!!
I’ve finally got my visa, so maybe it’s finally here!?!? Now, let’s enjoy some pro wrestling!
