Kota Ibushi Stretchered Out After Fall at AEW Collision Taping

AEW has not disclosed Ibushi’s condition following the in-ring injury.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Oct. 8 at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville during the Collision: Homecoming taping against Josh Alexander.
  • Eyewitnesses said Ibushi’s leg appeared to buckle on the top rope, leading to a fall to the floor where he was checked by medical staff and counted out.
  • Fan-captured video circulating shows Ibushi being stretchered to an ambulance after the match was halted.
  • AEW president Tony Khan addressed the crowd, confirmed an injury, thanked fans for their patience, and led a chant for Ibushi.
  • Kenny Omega ran in to confront Alexander and Don Don Callis Family as the lights were lowered, and no diagnosis or timetable has been announced; Ibushi has battled injuries since a 2021 shoulder setback and only returned in June.
