WWE superstar Shinsuke Nakamura will be allowed to face Great Muta in a bona fide dream match in Japan on New Year’s Day.
The former Intercontinental Champion – who is contracted to WWE on the SmackDown brand – has been announced for a Pro Wrestling NOAH show and he’ll be part of the company’s The New Year 2023 event on January 1.
The special bout will be part of Muta’s retirement tour as the legendary star – whose real name is Keiji Muto – prepares to hang up his boots with a final match as Great Muta set for January 22, and then his official retirement on February 21 at the Tokyo Dome.
NOAH announced the shocking news over the weekend, hailing the bout as ‘pro wrestling’s biggest dream match’.
Nakamura himself added: ‘This is Miracle. (sic)’
