Joey Janela will take on Kota Ibushi at Joey Janela’s Spring Break 7.
The Collective 2023 will feature several buzzworthy independent wrestling shows, including Joey Janela’s Spring Break 7 and Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 8. Ibushi is set to compete at both shows; as previously announced, he will face Mike Bailey at Bloodsport 8.
In an update, Janela announced that he will face Ibushi at Joey Janela’s Bloodsport 7 on March 31.
Ibushi’s return to the ring during The Collective will mark his first action since October 2021. The former NJPW star has been unable to wrestle due to a shoulder injury, and he left NJPW following the expiration of his contract in January 2022.
Janela previously announced that Bailey will face El Hijo del Vikingo at Spring Break 7. Plus, the East West Express (Jordan Oliver and Nick Wayne) will challenge the Motor City Machine Guns for the GCW World Tag Team Championship.
