AEW Double or Nothing closed with Don Callis using Konesuke Takeshita to fire another shot at Kenny Omega as Takeshita took out Omega, leading to Wheeler Yuta pinning Omega and giving Blackpool Combat Club the win over The Elite in Anarchy in the Arena.
Callis has spent the majority of the year recruiting Takeshita, evening briefly uniting him with The Elite (Omega and The Young Bucks), before Callis turned against Omega.
While fans will hear from Callis and Takeshita on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, Callis spoke to Busted Open Radio about his partnership with Takeshita.
"Kenny Omega was a great wrestler, and he was rich, but he didn't have the success that he had until I came on board. Takeshita is the next level of Kenny Omega. He's bigger, stronger, and amazingly, I'm not going to sit here and tell you he's a better athlete, but he's on that level. This kid was an Olympic hopeful for decathlon. That's ten events. He didn't have to be great at one, like Kenny was great at hockey, he had to be great at ten. Why bring in Takeshita? He's the future of AEW. He's struggled since he's been here, not to have great matches, but to consistently make good decisions. This kid had six matches in two days, and on 18 hours rest, wrestled Bryan Danielson. Those just aren't smart decisions that someone with representation makes. Those bad decisions are going to go away, and we're going to see that Takeshita is the future of professional wrestling," he said.
Callis said he's now building his own family with Takeshita.
"I am tortured by the fact, that I have a vision, and I can't wait for it to come true, I really can't. I'm going to re-shape All Elite Wrestling, and I'm going to take The Elite out of All Elite Wrestling," stated Callis.
