Takeshita is currently holding the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, having defeated Zack Sabre Jr. at New Japan’s King of Pro-Wrestling earlier this month. Just before these three DDT dates, he is slated to appear at DDT’s Ultimate Party event on November 3 at Ryōgoku Sumo Hall, teaming with Kaisei Takechi to face Kazusada Higuchi and Takeshi Masada.
Takeshita originally rose to prominence through DDT, where his deep roots give these upcoming appearances added significance to his stature as a wrestler.
