Kota Ibushi provides an update on his shoulder.
Ibushi has been out of action since he suffered a shoulder injury in the G1 Climax 2021 Finals against Kazuchika Okada in October 2021. He was announced for the New Japan Cup, but was pulled from the tournament. In May 2022, Ibushi took to social media to express his frustrations with NJPW management, which led to NJPW holding a press conference addressing the issues and announcing penalties to Ibushi and others involved in the incidents.
Ibushi provided an update to Dark Puroresu Flowsion, saying, “My shoulder is 90% comeback.” He also provided a video of him sparring.
