Free Post: Update On Katsuyori Shibata (Patreon)

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Bryan Danielson is set for AEW Collision.

Fightful has learned that Shibata was forced to return to Japan in November because of urgent visa issues, which is why he dropped the ROH Pure Title to Wheeler YUTA. We were told at that point that Tony Khan still had big hopes and plans for him, and that Shibata was very happy in AEW.

Shibata's visa situation got rectified this week, and the decision was made to put him in a big match with Bryan Danielson on Collision.
