An AEW star is set to have his debut in another company, competing in a special tag match on their upcoming show.
Konosuke Takeshita has been confirmed as a competitor in the first match to be announced for TJPW GRAND PRINCESS ’26.
The Japanese joshi promotion heads to Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo on March 29, with Takeshita’s tag team partner also confirmed.
The Don Callis Family member will be teaming with his real-life wife and fellow AEW star Yuka Sakazaki, to take on two as-yet-unannounced opponents in a ‘special tag match’.
TJPW announced the debut of Takeshita in a video that was recorded at AEW Worlds End, as can be seen on Twitter right here.
A match graphic for the upcoming show was also shared on Twitter, with the translation in English stating:
“March 29 (Sun) Ryogoku Kokugikan “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” First Card Matches Announced / KONOSUKE TAKESHITA to Make TJPW Ring Debut! Tag Team with SAKAZAKI Realized!”
Over in AEW, Takeshita could find himself alongside more new members of the Don Callis Family in the near future, according the head of the faction himself.
AEW Worlds End saw Takeshita at the top of the Blue League, heading into the semi-finals only to be eliminated by Kazuchika Okada.
