AEW has added another fan favorite to its roster, and the newly signed star will also be a part of AEW’s Full Gear: Zero Hour ahead of the pay-per-view. The star we’re talking about is Konosuke Takeshita, who previously competed in AEW but was not signed to a contract with AEW at the time. He would return to Japan to participate in several major matches for DDT Pro, and now he’s back in AEW, but this time he is officially part of the roster. Tony Khan made the news official on social media, rolling out a new All Elite graphic for Takeshita, which you can see below.
