AEW star Kota Ibushi is set to appear at the upcoming GLEAT Fifth Anniversary event.
The event will take place at the SGC HALL ARIAKE in Tokyo, Japan, on July 1. GLEAT confirmed Ibushi for the event via Instagram earlier today.
Kota Ibushi has competed in GLEAT three times during his career. The veteran is currently sidelined due to a career-threatening broken femur he suffered during an AEW Collision taping last October.
The veteran has since undergone two surgeries and continues to provide updates on his recovery status via social media. He made a surprising appearance at Super Japan Pro Wrestling last month.
Additionally, last month, Kota Ibushi took to social media to reveal his intentions to revamp a notable pro wrestling venue in Tokyo, Japan. You can read more about that RIGHT HERE.
