Ricochet vs. Konosuke Takeshita International title match set for AEW Full Gear

Another title match has been announced for this Saturday’s AEW Full Gear as AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita will defend the title against Ricochet. The two have been at odds since October’s WrestleDream when Kyle Fletcher attacked Will Ospreay, causing him to lose the title to Takeshita in a three-way that also included Ricochet. Since then, Ricochet has chased Takeshita around North America which included a surprise appearance at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling’s debut weekend. The two have battled in a pair of tag team matches since then which included an eight-man that took place Wednesday. This will be the third title defense for Takeshita, but his first in AEW. Ricochet is 7-0 in straight-up singles matches in his early AEW career.
