Tony Khan has revealed that he originally wanted Keiji Muto, also known as The Great Muta, to make an appearance at AEW All Out 2022.
The Great Muta recently made an appearance for AEW at Rampage: Grand Slam on September 23.
Speaking on the podcast My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, Khan revealed his original plans for the Japanese wrestling legend’s AEW debut, noting:
“Great Muta, we’d been talking about for a long time and it was funny because Mox brought it up in the press conference and we were already talking about it and I was like, ‘They’re with New Japan’ so I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know if this is the best time Jon,’ and we were already working on it (Khan laughed). But yeah, the timing was very good.
“I originally wanted to get Muta for All Out and he was not available and then it just seemed like a great idea for Grand Slam.”
At Rampage: Grand Slam, the Great Muta saved Sting & Darby Allin from The House of Black during their No DQ tag-team match.
Sting was recently announced for the Great Muta’s final match in January.
