AEW Now Interested In Booking Konosuke Takeshita Vs. Mascara Dorada After Fake Graphic Goes Viral

A fake graphic (pictured above) for an AEW International Title match between Konosuke Takeshita and Mascara Dorada on Wednesday night's Dynamite caused havoc on social media this week, with some genuinely believing the match would be taking place on Dynamite.

As it was a fan-made graphic, Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mascara Dorada did not air from the SAP Center in San Jose, California but Dave Meltzer has reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that, because of the graphic, AEW now want to run the match.

"I saw on social media this thing that said Takeshita was wrestling Mascara Dorada on Dynamite tonight. It was a fake graphic but I did not know it was a fake graphic because it looked just like their graphic and I'm going like, 'Oh my god, they're announcing this match at the last minute.' So I went to the show, didn't know any better, and then the show's over and it didn't happen so I figured maybe something happened to Mascara Dorada, I don’t know. So I actually was asked and I go like, 'What happened to Mascara Dorada?' And they said, 'That was a fake graphic, but what a great match. Boy, do we want to put that match on now,'" Meltzer said.

"So whoever made up this great match or this fake graphic, he spurred an idea in people's heads and, in fact, they love the idea of that match. I don't know if it's going to happen anytime soon and Mascara Dorada as of now has not been able to work for AEW. I mean, they want him, they would like to have him."

Luchablog noted they don't think Mascara Dorada has received a work visa for the United States as of yet. A number of CMLL talents were affected by visa issues earlier this year.

While the match can't currently take place in the United States, Konosuke Takeshita could potentially defend the International Championship in CMLL.
