Konosuke Takeshita has become one of the brightest sparks on AEW television over the past few months. The Japanese star has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Jon Moxley (a.k.a Dean Ambrose) and Adam Page.
On the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer was asked about how long Takeshita will be with AEW. Then, Meltzer reported that WWE is interested in bringing a top Japanese talent into the company and Takeshita would be a good fit for the WWE. Here what Dave Meltzer stated:
“It’s not like he’ll be here for a year and then they can never use him again. So the fact that they don’t have him under a five-year deal or anything like that, shouldn’t be incumbent on (how they use him). I don’t know what his deal is with DDT. WWE, if he doesn’t have a full-time deal somewhere… WWE is looking for a big Japanese guy as we speak, and this guy’s got some size, and he’s young, and he’s got a good body, and he’s a fantastic wrestler. So somebody there may stumble upon him and be interested, because he’s exactly what they’re looking for.” (H/T: WrestleTalk)
