Keiji Muto’s Last Match Announced For February 2023 Pro Wrestling NOAH Tokyo Dome Show
Keiji Muto’s last match is set.
Pro Wrestling NOAH announced that Keiji Muto (The Great Muta) will have his last match on February 21, 2023 when Pro Wrestling NOAH returns to the Tokyo Dome for the first time since 2015.
Muto had been sidelined since January with a hip injury, but returned to the ring in May. Muto stated that the doctor told him if his hip becomes deformed, he will need a hip replacement and there is no way he can wrestle with that. He said that it was the doctor’s decision to have him retire and it’s not his personal choice.
