Golden Lovers Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi hint at AEW return with training photos

Exciting news for wrestling fans as Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, known as the Golden Lovers, appear to be gearing up for a return to AEW. Ibushi recently shared photos on Instagram of the duo training together, hinting at their imminent comeback. While the exact location of their training session is unclear, there’s speculation it might be in Japan, coinciding with the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.

Both wrestlers have faced significant health challenges recently. Omega battled a life-threatening case of diverticulitis last year, making his last appearance on AEW Dynamite in May. Ibushi, who joined AEW in 2023, has wrestled only four matches for the promotion due to a series of serious injuries. Despite these setbacks, their recent training session suggests they’re on the path to recovery and potentially ready to make a big impact in AEW.

The reunion of Omega and Ibushi is particularly noteworthy given their history and popularity as a tag team. Omega, an executive vice president of AEW since its inception, and Ibushi, a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, bring star power and international appeal to the promotion. Their return could significantly boost AEW’s storylines and match quality, thrilling fans who have been eagerly awaiting their comeback.
