Takeshita could be coming back to America for good.
Konosuke Takeshita spent a lot of time in America in 2022 wrestling for various independent promotions and AEW. Well, talking to Wrestling Republic in an interview taking place ahead of Starrcast V, Takeshita (via a translator) says his goal wasn’t necessarily an excursion as he wants to continue to wrestle in the United States.
He didn’t mean to do an excursion. His goal is to move here and make his living by wrestling here. This is not an excursion. He might have to go back to Japan eventually, but he didn’t mean it.

Hopefully we will see Konosuke Takeshita back in America soon.
