Konosuke Takeshita is proving to be one of the most dominant forces in pro wrestling, and his recent accomplishments solidify his place as a global superstar. In just a matter of days, Takeshita has expanded his footprint across three major wrestling promotions.
On January 3, Takeshita competed for DDT Pro-Wrestling, continuing his run as one of the company’s standout talents. The very next day, he made waves at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19, where he defeated Shingo Takagi to claim the NEVER Openweight Championship. But Takeshita wasn’t done. At NJPW Wrestle Dynasty, he successfully defended both his newly won NEVER Openweight Title and his AEW International Championship against the legendary Tomohiro Ishii.
Following his victory at Wrestle Dynasty, Takeshita made a game-changing announcement during his post-event media comments. The wrestling star revealed that he has officially joined New Japan Pro-Wrestling, adding yet another powerhouse promotion to his resume. “I am now part of NJPW,” Takeshita said, signaling his intent to dominate yet another organization.
This makes Takeshita a unique talent representing three major promotions simultaneously: AEW, NJPW, and DDT. His ability to balance commitments across these organizations is a testament to his unmatched work ethic and in-ring prowess.
Takeshita’s rise in the wrestling world is nothing short of extraordinary, and his recent announcement has fans speculating about what’s next. Could this mean dream matches against NJPW’s biggest stars or a future crossover event featuring AEW, NJPW, and DDT talent?
