AEW star Konosuke Takeshita has been absent from All Elite Wrestling as of late. He was fulfilling his commitments with NJPW currently by competing in the coveted G1 Climax 35 tournament for the past month.

The Japanese talent had a strong showing during this year's G1 Climax. Throughout the tournament, Takeshita maintained his dominance over the competition. However, his notable losses against names like Shota Umino and Zack Sabre Jr. negatively impacted his chances of victory. Despite a route of ebbs and flows, the 30-year-old successfully made his way to the finals of the tournament.

In the finale of the G1 Climax 35, Takeshita went one-on-one with EVIL at Ariake Arena in Tokyo. The two stars delivered an incredible showdown where Takeshita picked up a huge victory in an almost 27-minute match. With that victory, Konosuke now has an opportunity to challenge for the IWGP World Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 20.
