[VIDEO] Kota Ibushi takes dangerous fall following AEW Dynamite; Kenny Omega seriously concerned

Kota Ibushi battled Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada in the main event of AEW Dynamite 300 last night. While the match was as intense and action-packed as expected, it was Ibushi's daredevil stunt in the aftermath that made headlines.

After almost 20 months away, Kota Ibushi returned to in-ring action on AEW to a huge ovation at last week's Dynamite. He faced Trent Beretta on the show in his first match on All Elite Wrestling programming since 2023 and beat him in a high-octane clash. Following the bout, Kazuchika Okada confronted the Golden Star, and a bout between the two was set up at Dynamite 300.

The 43-year-old Japanese star ultimately lost to Okada despite a valiant effort and was subjected to an assault by Okada and his new faction, The Don Callis Family. His friend and former tag team partner, Kenny Omega, came out to make the save. As the dust settled, the once Golden Lovers, Omega and Ibushi, embraced as the show went off air. This is when Ibushi pulled off a dangerous fall that seemingly had Omega worried for his former tag team partner.
