Ibushi has been out of action since October 2025, when he suffered a broken femur. He underwent surgery, and then in February 2026, he underwent a second surgery because a major screw came loose.
Ibushi stated that he was hoping to return in 2026 despite being told he would need two years to recover. Ibushi is signed to All Elite Wrestling.
