10 Things You Didn't Know About Kota Ibushi

10. He Tagged With Kenny Omega

Kota Ibushi may be primarily known as a singles worker, but he was also a part of a heralded tag team with none other than Kenny Omega, the current leader of Bullet Club and one of the hottest stars on the international scene. As The Golden Lovers, the pair held the DDT promotion's Tag Team Titles twice, and had a reign as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.

The pair of real-life friends spent five years teaming regularly in DDT until late 2014, when Omega announced that he was leaving the promotion. He then showed up in New Japan as "The Cleaner," the new Junior Heavyweight ace of Bullet Club. While that didn't put them in one another's crosshairs (Ibushi had made the jump to the heavyweight division), Omega did infamously - and reluctantly - help AJ Styles retain the IWGP Heavyweight Title in a match with Ibushi.

As there was no resolution between the former partners, many assume that Ibushi's "unfinished business" in Japan refers to a one on one match with Omega. That will likely have to wait a while.
