Kota Ibushi has announced that he has signed a new two-year contract extension with All Elite Wrestling. He shared the news and his thoughts on his career in a post on his Instagram account.
“This was incredible‼️ A turning point in my life. You never think you’ll be born and get to ride on a private jet, right? And I just signed a new two-year contract ️. I still want to live, and I have no choice but to live. But I can’t imagine myself wrestling until 45. What else do I want? I don’t know. Other than this, I’ve lived without knowing anything else — and pro wrestling really is a dream! Just like I thought when I was a little kid. But it’s not just good things — you have to go through 99% hell to get there. And that 99% hell was far beyond anything I could have imagined, from the training to daily life habits. Still, you must never look down. Keep looking up, higher and higher. This isn’t enough yet, not even close‼️ From here on out…”
Ibushi is scheduled to compete at the upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view, where he will be part of a 10-man Lights Out Steel Cage match.
