The Great Muta will appear on this Friday’s special two-hour AEW Rampage: Grand Slam episode that was taped on Wednesday night from New York City at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Sting and Darby Allin wrestled Buddy Matthews and Brody King at the taping. Matthews was about to attack Sting, who was handcuffed, with a baseball bat, but Muta arrived by spitting mist in the face of Matthews.
This led to Matthews bumping into Jula Hart, who went through a table, and Sting picked up the win for his team. Post-match, Sting hugged Muta. You can check out the full Rampage spoilers here.
Sting and Muta go back several decades as they’ve been longtime rivals and tag team partners dating back to the late 80s in WCW and New Japan Pro Wrestling. In September 1989, The Great Muta defeated Sting for the WCW Television Title.
Keiji Mutoh will work his last match under The Great Muta persona on January 23 at Yokohama Arena as he is currently on a retirement tour with Pro Wrestling NOAH. His final match is set to take place on February 21, 2023, at the Tokyo Dome.
