Full Card Announced For Keiji Muto Retirement Show
Over 20 wrestlers will compete in the Tokyo Dome on Keiji Muto’s retirement show.
Keiji Muto’s retirement show takes place on February 21st, 2023 and the card is promising to include a lot more than just the legendary wrestler’s retirement.
Eleven matches have been announced for the card. The main event will see 60-year old Keiji Muto wrestle Tetsuya Naito one-on-one in Muto’s big retirement match. But the undercard features some interesting stuff as well.
The semi-main event is also a dream match of sorts as it will be an interpromotional battle of the aces. The second-last match on the card will see IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and New Japan ace Kazuchika Okada take on NOAH’s ace and GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya.
The rest of the card will also feature matches involving wrestlers from other promotions besides NOAH and New Japan. The other matches, per Fightful, are as follows:
