Konosuke Takeshita Explains Why Match With Top Star Is Not Happening In AEW

Konosuke Takeshita has explained why his upcoming match with a top star is not happening in AEW.

2023 has been a huge year for Konosuke Takeshita. The Japanese star has undergone a heel turn, aligned with Don Callis and made history by becoming the first man to beat Kenny Omega twice in one week.

Now, the 28 year old star is set to have the biggest match of his career when he faces Chris Jericho on November 12 at DDT Pro’s Ultimate Party 2023.

Speaking with Fightful’s Scott Edwards, Takeshita was asked about his upcoming showdown with Jericho. On why it was important for this match with Jericho to take place in DDT, Konosuke answered:

“Of course I could have had a match in AEW, and I think there’s a possibility of having a singles match in the future in an AEW ring.”

“But I thought it made sense to have Chris Jericho in the ring with DDT, because it’s been 27 years since DDT was launched, and who could have predicted that the Chris Jericho of the world would be in that ring? That’s the biggest dramatic dream of all.”

Konosuke Takeshita is set to be part of The Don Callis Family team that will face the team of Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Paul Wight and Kota Ibushi in a Street Fight on the November 15 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Omega and Jericho will then move on to face The Young Bucks on November 18 at AEW Full Gear. If the Golden Jets win, they get the Bucks’ guaranteed shot at the AEW World Tag Team Titles, but if the Bucks win, the Jets must disband.
