On January 1st, Keiji Muto will have his last match on NOAH “THE NEW YEAR” 2023, and while the match itself already is an attraction, many people were unhappy with this match main eventing the show. Mutoh’s controversial statement is truly a reflection of the current state of Pro-Wrestling NOAH.

Although this statement could be seen as disrespectful to the craft of Kaito Kiyomiya as champion, and the prestige of the GHC Heavyweight Championship as one of the most coveted prizes on Puroresu, we know Kiyomiya will give his absolute best to steal the show.

NOAH’s “THE NEW YEAR” 2023 will be a big show for the company, and it will be the foundation for a new era on Mitsuharu Misawa’s Ark. You can watch this show on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!
