Konosuke Takeshita Comments on His Triple Contract Status with AEW, NJPW, & DDT and Him Being Available for Any NJPW Tour He’s Called For

New Japan Pro Wrestling held a recent press conference featuring current IWGP World Champion Konosuke Takeshita as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Takeshita’s thoughts about his triple contracted status not making him exclusive to either DDT Pro, AEW, or NJPW and how he is available for any NJPW tour he is called for as champion.

“I’m triple contracted, but not exclusive. We can move things around and I can be on any tour I’m called for. There are people worldwide, not just in Japan, who want to see the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.”
