Ibushi Absent From This Month’s DDT Shows

October 5, 2024

DDT “THE LAST BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING OF 2024”, 17/10/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Street Kickboxing 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukimitsu Takahashi & Keigo Nakamura Vs Thanomsak Toba, Takeshi Masada & Gota Ihashi

DDT announced that Kota Ibushi will be missing the two shows they booked him for this month. That is the 17th October Beer Garden show and the 20th October Korakuen Hall show. No reason has been given other than he will be absent. Ibushi will be replaced by Keigo Nakamura on the Beer Garden show.

This news feels a bit weird. Ibushi’s conditioning since he came back hasn’t been up to scratch but this doesn’t sound like an injury situation. He’s wrestling on a GLEAT show tomorrow and there’s no sign that he’s being pulled from that. There’s gossip online over whether or not Kenny Omega has recovered from his health problems and is ready to return. Ibushi on his Instagram account also made it sound like AEW will bring them back together as The Golden Lovers. I won’t rule that out as a possibility. AEW has a TV taping on the 17th but nothing else for a week after that. It wouldn’t explain why Ibushi would miss the DDT show on the 20th. Hopefully this isn’t a situation where Ibushi and DDT had a falling out. Would be a real shame if that bridge is burned after it took so long for it to be rebuilt.

Tokyo Joshi Pro are planning to reschedule the double title match once Zhao’s visa problem is cleared up. Kamifuku will now have a non-title match on tomorrow’s show against an opponent who will be revealed on the day.
