"Get him on AEW tomorrow dammit" - Wrestling fans urge Tony Khan to sign another former world champion

The Twitterverse is apparently stoked to see another former world champion potentially being signed to AEW.Kota Ibushi has been in the pro-wrestling business for around two decades. He has been a part of numerous promotions around the world, most notably NJPW and DDT Pro-Wrestling. Furthermore, he even had a short stint in WWE, but his time there was cut short as he didn't sign a contract with the sports entertainment giant.Ibushi is especially known for his in-ring skill and technical expertise. He has also been a part of a tag team with one of the most prominent names in AEW, the Japanese star combined with former All-Elite World Champion Kenny Omega to form Golden☆Lovers. The duo wrestled together in NJPW, gaining popularity during the Bullet Club civil war a few years back.With news of Ibushi's contract with NJPW expiring, the star is scheduled for a match at GCW. However, he is still not signed anywhere, prompting fans to question whether he will join AEW soon.Tim@Namedropper5000@WrestlingCovers If he wants to be a bigger star than he is I think he'd go to WWE. HHH would have had him win the tournament but he didn't want to sign at that time. Plus there's a ton of guys who wrestled for NJPW who could help him. Would be cool to see him in either company tbh.1@WrestlingCovers If he wants to be a bigger star than he is I think he'd go to WWE.
