Chris Jericho wants to face Konosuke Takeshita in DDT Pro-Wrestling. 

Jericho appeared via video on today’s DDT show from Korakuen Hall. He challenged his rival from the Don Callis Family for Ultimate Party 2023 on November 12. It will be Jericho’s first time wrestling for the promotion.   

“Takeshita! Congratulations on your big victory tonight, Takeshita. You looked good as always. Everybody says you’re one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. Well, Chris Jericho is one of the greatest of all time and Takeshita, not once but twice, you attacked me with a chair with Don Callis and I’m done! I will have revenge on you Takeshita.”

“I have worked in Japan for over 30 years and you can ask Onita, you can ask Tenryu, Oniki-san, Chono, Okada, Naito, ask them all who one of the best to ever come to Japan is. It’s Chris Jericho. So, at the Ultimate Party 2023, Ryogoku Sumo Arena, November 12, it’s Takeshita vs. Chris Jericho. I challenge you Takeshita and I’m going to teach you a lesson.” 

Jericho and Takeshita are also set to be on opposing sides of a tag match coming up at AEW WrestleDream on October 1. The Don Callis Family team of Takeshita, Will Ospreay, and Sammy Guevara will wrestle Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi.
