WWE star Akira Tozawa shared a heartfelt message on social media following a major victory on tonight’s episode of Raw. The show featured a four-way No. 1 Contenders match for the World Tag Team Championship, with Los Americanos, Alpha Academy, The Creed Brothers, and The New Day competing. Tozawa, teaming with Otis as part of Alpha Academy, secured the win by pinning Julius Creed.
Reflecting on his journey, Tozawa revealed it’s been nearly a decade since he joined WWE. He admitted that he hasn’t always met expectations and has faced skepticism from some fans who questioned if he was still part of the company. Despite the doubts, his passion for professional wrestling and WWE never wavered.
“Tozawa expressed that this unwavering love for wrestling is what motivated him to keep pushing forward, regardless of criticism. He believes the time has now arrived for him to achieve greater success.
In his message, Tozawa also thanked his partner Otis and supporter Maxxine, vowing, “We will be champions. I promise you that. I love you all.”
Although Tozawa has held the WWE 24/7 Championship 16 times, his only other title in the company was the Cruiserweight Championship, which he held briefly in 2017. Following this latest victory, Tozawa and Otis are set to challenge the reigning champions, The Usos, for the World Tag Team Titles.
Fan Take: This significant win for Akira Tozawa could mark a turning point in his WWE career, breathing new life into the tag team division. For fans, it’s exciting to see a long-standing performer finally getting a push that could lead to memorable title reigns and fresh storylines within the sport.
