The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) universe was abuzz after Konosuke Takeshita, a towering 6 feet 2 inches star, sent a bold message to Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose, following Moxley’s backstage promo on the latest episode of Collision. Takeshita, who is set to face Moxley in an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Eliminator Match at AEW Double or Nothing 2024, was not one to back down from a challenge.
Moxley, in his promo, boasted that he and the Blackpool Combat Club were only interested in the action, the blood, and the fight, implying that others were motivated by fame, glamour, and money. Takeshita, never one to shy away from a fight, fired back with a message that sent shockwaves through the AEW community. “It’s my time to shine, and I’ll destroy everything the Blackpool Combat Club loves,” Takeshita tweeted, sending a clear message to Moxley that he was ready for battle.
This bold declaration is a far cry from the Takeshita of old, who had previously spoken about feeling discouraged and disillusioned with his career in the United States. In a recent interview with DDT Pro-Wrestling, Takeshita opened up about his struggles, revealing that he once thought that hard work alone would earn him more airtime. However, he soon realized that other factors were at play, and no matter how well he performed, it still wasn’t enough to put him in the spotlight.
But Takeshita’s recent display against Will Ospreay has won him a legion of fans, and he is now on an upward trajectory in the Tony Khan-led promotion. His match against Moxley at Double or Nothing 2024 promises to be an explosive encounter, with Takeshita looking to prove himself as a force to be reckoned with in AEW.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for the AEW Double or Nothing 2024 Pay-Per-View, one thing is clear: Konosuke Takeshita is ready to take on the world, and Jon Moxley had better be prepared for a fight.
