Kota Ibushi AEW Dynamite match is now official, as the Japanese wrestling legend will take on Trent Beretta this Wednesday in Kent, Washington. This event will mark Ibushi’s first singles appearance for AEW since joining the promotion in 2023, signaling an important moment for both him and the ongoing storylines ahead of the All In pay-per-view.
Ibushi’s Opponent Announced for Major Return
After much speculation, AEW confirmed that Kota Ibushi will face Trent Beretta in a singles showdown during this week’s Dynamite broadcast. The contest comes after Ibushi made a surprise return during a recent Collision segment, where he aligned with Kenny Omega against Kazuchika Okada and the Don Callis Family. Beretta, revealed as a fellow member of the Don Callis Family alongside Okada, adds a personal edge to the matchup.
Key Storylines Leading Into the Match
The AEW Dynamite match also pushes forward several intertwined narratives. Kenny Omega and longtime rival Kazuchika Okada are preparing to unify the AEW International Championship and the Continental Championship at the All In event scheduled for July 12. Okada’s recent alliance with the Don Callis Family, which includes Beretta, has increased the tension, especially with Ibushi’s renewed involvement and close friendship with Omega.
This will be Kota Ibushi’s first singles match for AEW, as his previous appearances were limited due to injuries since signing with the company in 2023. His in-ring return is highly anticipated by fans and is set to be a highlight of the night.
What to Expect Next on Dynamite
As of now, this is the only officially announced match for Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, making it the key focus of the show. The fallout from Ibushi’s return, along with the advancing rivalry between Omega and Okada, is expected to shape AEW’s direction leading up to All In. The outcome of Ibushi vs. Beretta could have significant implications for the Don Callis Family and for the ongoing championship storyline.
