"I'll never forget today's defeat" - Popular star breaks silence after coming up short against Jon Moxley on AEW Dynamite

Popular Japanese star Konosuke Takeshita locked horns with Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley on the most recent episode of Dynamite. While he came up short, he took to Twitter to show his appreciation for the match and his opponent.

The bout was a title eliminator for Takeshita, where if he picked up the victory, he would earn himself a future title shot against Moxley. Despite a valiant effort by the 27-year-old, the champion forced the young star to submit.

After taking time to reflect on the contest, Takeshita tweeted out a hopeful message on social media. He credited crediting Moxley's strength and expressed his desire to pick up a significant victory on AEW television in the future.

"Many people cheered for me today but I couldn't win. It is because I am weak. Jon Moxley was so strong. I have to become stronger than I am now and win for the first time someday at Dynamite or Rampage. I will never forget today's defeat," via @Takesoup on Twitter.
