Last week, Keiji Mutoh<\/strong>, the iconic Japanese wrestler known to many as The Great Muta<\/strong>, captured Pro Wrestling NOAH<\/strong>‘s GHC Heavyweight Championship<\/a> to become only the third man in history to win the three major titles in Japan – NJPW<\/strong>‘s IWGP Heavyweight Championship, AJPW<\/strong>‘s Triple Crown, and now NOAH<\/strong>‘s GHC Heavyweight title. In a press conference on Monday, Mutoh not only revealed that he’s signed a two-year deal with NOAH, but has been approached about a title defense in IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong>, furthering the previous NOAH-IMPACT alliance, and continuing the Forbidden Door explosion of late that has seen IMPACT working with the likes of AEW<\/a>, AAA, and most recently, a rejuvenated relationship with NJPW.<\/a><\/p>\n
