Muto closes out the show with Chono. 

A near 40-year career wrapped up at today’s Keiji Muto final match event. Muto met Tetsuya Naito in the main event and fell in defeat to Naito. 

Post-match, they shook hands and Muto held the ropes open for him so he could exit the ring. He then called out Masahiro Chono and asked Tiger Hattori to join them so they could have one more match together.

Chono had not wrestled in a sanctioned match since 2014. He scored a win over Muto with an ‘STF’ and they embraced afterwards.
