Josh Alexander faces Konosuke Takeshita at night two of MLP Forged In Excellence tonight, and he says he’s ready for the AEW star. Alexander spoke with Busted Open Radio about the match and you can see some highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On his previous match with Takeshita: “I had the pleasure of getting into the ring with Takeshita about two years ago now when he first kind of came over and started popping up in AEW. I saw how good he was, and now, you know, he’s gotten better, clearly. He had a historic G1 run, one that put him on the map as a star came back to AEW, and now, he’s the title holder…For me and Takeshita to headline for that championship, with all the stakes, a dream match between a TNA-contracted wrestler and an AEW-contracted wrestler… I think it’s exciting for everybody; it’s exciting for me.”
On Takeshita’s weakness: “His Achilles heel is going to be Don Callis at the end of the day. If he chooses to get involved, I think that’s going to be an advantage I have because Takeshita is going to have an eye on him. I already know what’s coming.”
