Omega and Ibushi were famously united in DDT Pro Wrestling and then NJPW as the Golden Lovers where they were tag team partners and best friends, often cornering each other for big matches.
Ibushi has not wrestled since October 2021 after suffering a shoulder injury in the finals af the 2021 NJPW G1 Climax and having a dispute with NJPW. Omega was reportedly suspended from AEW for his role in the altercation between CM Punk, Ace Steel, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) and himself after AEW All Out.
