Also, in an update from Dark Puroesu Flowsion on Twitter, there is multiple major promotions interested in Kota Ibushi, but his preference is to work for as many promotions as possible
What I have gathered talking with Kota Ibushi multiple times. Is that their is high interest from all major promotions. His preference is to work for every promotion he can more as a freelancer than a fully contracted wrestler. Expect a more brutal & grounded style from him. pic.twitter.com/vzDr3TfcC0
