Hiromu Takashi welcomes challengers.
Hiromu Takahashi teamed with Shingo Takagi & BUSHI at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door to defeat United Empire (Jeff Cobb, Kyle Fletcher & TJP). All six men are known for their time in NJPW, though Fletcher has signed with AEW.
Speaking after the event, Hiromu said, "I'm glad I was able to come this year. But in our match, it's hard to call it a forbidden door card. Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, whoever wants this belt, go get it."
Takahashi is the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. He was not part of the 2022 Forbidden Door event.
高橋「今年は来れてよかったよ。でも俺たちの試合、ちょっと禁断の扉とは言い難いカードだったかな。なので、次回、禁断の扉じゃなくてもいい。AEWさん、このベルト欲しくないんですかー？ ダービー・アリンでもジャングルボーイでも、このベルトがほしいやつは誰でもかかってきなさーい」… pic.twitter.com/bVQq1ZdK39
