Konosuke Takeshita has been part of the Don Callis Family for the past couple of years. Joining Don Callis' faction helped elevate his game to the next level and established him as one of the top heels in the industry. However, things between Takeshita and the Don Callis Family have not been good in recent weeks, especially since Kazuchika Okada joined the group. There have been some tensions rising between Okada and Takeshita in recent weeks. This has only intensified further after The Alpha won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

This week on Collision, Okada and Takeshita teamed up against The Acclaimed. During the match, Okada flipped off The Alpha. When Okada was about to hit a superplex on Anthony Bowens, Takeshita entered the ring and powerbombed Okada. Therefore, it's only a matter of time before Kazuchika Okada and Takeshita collide in the ring. This could also result in the IWGP World Champion leaving The Don Callis Family. If that happens, here are three factions he could join.

#3. The Elite

The Elite were once a dominant faction in AEW that included the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page. However, after The Bucks turned heel, they fired Omega and Page from The Elite and instead added Jack Perry and Kazuchika Okada to the group. It soon became evident that the Bucks had made a huge mistake.

Within a few months, Kazuchika Okada left The Elite to join the Don Callis Family while Jack Perry was absent from TV for months, only to return and assault Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. The Bucks have been down on their luck in recent weeks. While Don Callis offered a helping hand to Matthew and Nicholas Jackson at Full Gear by allowing Josh Alexander to team with the former Tag Team Champions, he is also partly to blame for their downfall since he took Okada away from them. Therefore, in a masterstroke, the Bucks could convince Konosuke Takeshita to join The Elite by turning him against Don Callis. This could also help elevate The Elite.

#2. Hurt Syndicate

The Hurt Syndicate has been a dominant faction ever since they came together in AEW. Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin also won the AEW World Tag Team Titles within a few months. MVP has shown that he is open to adding new members to the group who match Hurt Syndicate's vision.

Given that Konosuke Takeshita has proven himself in AEW and shown that he can hurt people. He will be a perfect addition for MVP to bring into his faction. Additionally, joining a strong group like Hurt Syndicate could also help him in his eventual feud against Kazuchika Okada.

#1. Konosuke Takeshita could join The Conglomeration

The Conglomeration is a fan favorite group in AEW that consists of Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, Tomohiro Ishii, Willow Nightingale, and Hologram. Although the group consists of several fan favorite underdogs, The Conglomeration is lacking the one person who can take them to the next level, and Konosuke Takeshita is that person.

Additionally, The Conglomeration has been having problems with The Don Callis Family. Therefore, if Konosuke Takeshita leaves Don Callis, the Conglomeration could prove to be the perfect faction for him.

It will be interesting to see whether Takeshita will end up leaving The Don Callis Family.
