AEW Officially Announces Signing Former World Champion To Contract

AEW has signed many talented performers to contracts since the company opened its doors. Now, they have added another former World Champion to the roster. This is ahead of the massive name that AEW will sign at Full Gear.

Ringside News had comprehensive coverage of AEW Dynamite this week. The November 15th episode of Dynamite was also the go-home show before Full Gear.

Kota Ibushi was on hand for AEW Dynamite this week as he took part in the Like A Dragon Gaiden Street Fight. This was quite a match, but it won’t be Ibushi’s last in AEW.

Tony Khan announced after AEW this week that Kota Ibushi is officially All Elite. He sent out this announcement in a post on X, along with an All Elite graphic for Kota Ibushi.

The Golden Star won the @SEGA LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN STREET FIGHT tonight on #AEWDynamite on TBS, and now it’s official: @ibushi_kota is ALL ELITE!

Kota Ibushi revealed that he signed with AEW a while ago. He revealed that he inked a deal with the company prior to the Blood & Guts match that he took part in. Now, Tony Khan has made the announcement official.

We will have to see what is next for Kota Ibushi in AEW. Kenny Omega is likely very happy to have him around. Only time will tell if fans see a return of the Golden Lovers on AEW television this time around.
