    Takeshita is the \u201c1\u201d In G1<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Konosuke Takeshita prevailed over EVIL to win the G1 Climax 35 final. Entering the tournament for a second straight year, he outlasted 19 other wrestlers to win a shot at the IWGP World Heavyweight title.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The final went a little bit differently than expected, as EVIL did not have any outside help from his fellow House of Torture members during the match. Although he did try to cheat by lowblowing Takeshita later on, the match was free of the usual HoT interferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the end, Takeshita was able to dig down deep and pull off the biggest victory of his career. The Alpha has risen to the top and has his eyes set on becoming a world champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Later on during his backstage interview, Takeshita also made his intentions clear by saying he wants to main event Wrestle Kingdom 20 in the Tokyo Dome on January 4 next year as the G1 winner and IWGP World Heavyweight champion. This means he will not wait until January 4 to get his title shot, something Zack Sabre Jr. also did last year when he won the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Sabre\u2019s next title defense has already been set at AEW Forbidden Door against fellow Brit Nigel McGuinness. Takeshita\u2019s declaration after winning this year\u2019s G1 may just be an indication of whoever wins that match on August 24.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bullet Club War Dogs Enlist Two New Members<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Bullet Club War Dogs have added to their ranks. After the second match of the show, War Dogs leader David Finlay came out and then proceeded to call for others to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The two men who answered his call were OSKAR Leube and Yuto Nakashima, the team called Young Blood; two young lions who went on an excursion last year. Looking much different than when they left, they went to the ring and attacked the winners, Taichi, Satoshi Kojima, and Taka Michinoku, who cornered the two for their tag match. <\/span><\/p>\n

    After laying out everyone, Leube and Nakashima posed with Taichi\u2019s tag title, seemingly making their intentions clear on what their goal is after coming back from their Europe excursion.<\/span><\/p>\n
