By Mike Johnson on 2026-09-16 09:40:00

Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with Kofi and Austin Creed, The New Level:

Kota Ibushi announced he will be undergoing another surgery, writing on his Instagram, "I am being hospitalized starting today. Tomorrow, I will undergo a second surgery on my femur. They will remove all the current plates and replace them with the strongest available option, as the doctors said my current ones were simply too weak for my body and leg. Why now? It makes absolutely no sense to me. I am so exhausted from having to go through surgery after surgery. But I am not giving up. I refuse to let something like this end my professional wrestling career. I will make sure this surgery is a success and absolutely return to AEW!!"
