Konosuke Takeshita is apparently friend of The Elite.
During the April 19 episode of AEW Dynamite, The Elite appeared in the ring to address the recent attacks at the hands of Blackpool Combat Club. It wasn’t long before Bryan Danielson appeared on the tron, allowing other BCC members to attack from behind.
As chaos broke out in and out of the ring, Danielson was prepared to attack Kenny Omega with a screwdriver. Before that could happen, a frantic Don Callis brought out Konosuke Takeshita to make the save. The 27-year-old upstart proved to be effective in helping clear the ring of all of their adversaries so that Omega, Callis, and Takeshita all stood tall in the ring.
It remains to be seen what’s to come for the developing Elite vs. Blackpool Combat Club rivalry as Double or Nothing looms just over a month away.
