AEW’s Konosuke Takeshita Wins New Japan Pro Wrestling Debut
At this year’s G1 Climax 34, Konosuke Takeshita, a cherished AEW pro wrestling figure, made his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut. This annual competition features multiple pools of wrestlers who earn points based on their victories to determine the winners of each group and advance to the next round. In the previous year, Kazuchika Okada and Tetsuya Naito faced off in the final match, with the latter taking home the trophy. This tournament offers wrestlers a platform to impress and demonstrate their abilities to fans. With Okada and Will Ospreay departing Japan for AEW in 2024, no one has emerged as a notable contender in NJPW yet.
