Konosuke Takeshita addresses report that WWE is interested in signing him
International wrestling star Konosuke Takeshita recently just completed a tour of the United States which included multiple matches with AEW. Takeshita wrote the following on Twitter (translated from Japanese) about the experience…
“32 matches. Of those, 29 were single matches (!?) It was four months that I grew so much that I felt like I was in the Room of Spirit and Time! It is a miracle that there were no injuries or flight troubles! Thank god for wrestling.”
32試合。うち29試合シングルマッチ（！？）精神と時の部屋に入ってたんじゃないかってくらい成長できた4ヶ月でした！怪我もフライトトラブルも一度もなかったのが奇跡！プロレスの神様ありがとう。#ddtpro

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that WWE “is looking for a big Japanese guy as we speak” and Takeshita “is exactly what they’re looking for.”
While speaking to Cultaholic.com following PROGRESS Wrestling’s show in Newcastle, United Kingdom, Takeshita addressed the matter…
“To be honest, now I’m not interested in WWE. My next goal is more fights in AEW I hope. So I have to go to back to Japan in August and September. Maybe, not decided yet, I hope I go back to America in October. Then if I stay in the US I can come to the UK more times. From Japan to the UK is so far but US to UK is maybe seven hours. It’s possible.”
