Keiji Muto's final New Japan Pro-Wrestling match was in fact not at NJPW x Stardom Historic X-Over in November.

New Japan unveiled the remainder of the Wrestle Kingdom 17 card today at a special press conference and in announcing the matches, the promotion revealed Muto will be in action inside the Tokyo Dome to team with Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shota Umino against Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, and BUSHI.

An Antonio Inoki memorial bout was also set for the show. Yuji Nagata, Satoshi Kojima, and Togi Makabe will team together against Tatsumi Fujinami, Minoru Suzuki, and Tiger Mask.
