Keiji Mutoh ended Wrestle Kingdom 17 at Yokohama Arena by challenging Tetsuya Naito to a match at his retirement show on February 21 at the Tokyo Dome.
After Naito defeated Kenoh in the main event, Naito was making his way out of the ring when Mutoh, who was doing commentary during the main event, slid into the ring and called out Naito. Naito entered the ring and said he would clear his schedule. The two posed as the show officially ended.
Mutoh is set to have his final match under The Great Muta persona Sunday morning, when he will team with Sting and Darby Allin of AEW to take on Hakushi, AKIRA, and Naomichi Maurufuji. That show will also take place at the Yokohama Arena.
Mutoh had his final match in NJPW back on January 4 during the first night of Wrestle Kingdom 17. There, he teamed with Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shota Umino to defeat Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, and BUSHI.
