NJPW and AEW have a strong working relationship. AEW star Konosuke Takeshita recently wrestled at Destruction in Kobe. The event took place on September 27 and featured many high-profile matches. Unfortunately, Takeshita suffered a huge loss. <\/p>\n
The Alpha entered Destruction in Kobe as the NJPW World Television Champion. However, he was dethroned<\/a> by his challenger, Shun Skywalker. This was one of the best bouts of the show. Interestingly, the new champion revealed in a recent interview with Tokyo Sports<\/em> that he is considering relinquishing the gold and leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling. He believes that he has achieved all his goals in the Japanese promotion.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve already achieved the goal I set for myself upon returning from Tenku. I\u2019m considering immediately returning this title\u2014which is like a bonus I never really needed in the first place\u2014and I\u2019m wondering if I have any further business with New Japan Pro-Wrestling,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n He continued,<\/p>\n “I easily won the Muro-Rambo, one of New Japan Pro-Wrestling\u2019s \u2018Strongest Warrior\u2019 tournaments, and I took the TV Title in a single match from Takeshita, last year\u2019s G1 Champion and former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Considering the current level of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, I\u2019m struggling more than anyone right now with the question of whether it\u2019s actually good for the pro-wrestling world for Shun Skywalker to stay and keep fighting,\u201d he said. [H\/T: Monthly Puroresu<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Konosuke Takeshita lost to Skywalker at Destruction in Kobe<\/a> in only ten minutes. The 30-year-old said in the interview mentioned above that this is a worrying sign because NJPW is at risk of closure due to a lack of competition.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile the so-called \u2018new generation\u2019 was engaged in a \u2018toss-up\u2019 among themselves, it was Takeshita who swept them all away in one fell swoop. And Shun Skywalker knocked out that very Takeshita in just 10 minutes\u2026 If things continue like this, New Japan Pro-Wrestling might come to an end,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Skywalker was seemingly in character during this conversation. Hopefully, Konosuke Takeshita will recapture the NJPW<\/a> World Television Championship soon.<\/p>\nShun Skywalker said that him defeating Konosuke Takeshita in under ten minutes could lead to NJPW’s eventual defunct<\/h2>\n
