WWE announced yesterday that Ric Flair will reveal a new WWE Hall of Famer on tomorrow's edition of The Bump.
The most likely choice is that Flair will reveal that the recently retired Keiji Muto aka The Great Muta will inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on 3/31. PWInsider.com's Elite section broke the news that Muta would be inducted last Friday, based on multiple sources in Japan.
One of the greatest Japanese wrestlers of all time, Muta never appeared for WWE, but wrestled for the NWA/WCW in 1989 as part of a legendary feud, teaming with Terry Funk against Ric Flair and Sting. The Muta vs. Sting rivalry for the World TV title in that era brought some amazing matches with Sting and Muta circling around each other for years as opponents and even tag team partners as recently as last year when Muta saved Sting in a huge surprise at AEW Grand Slam 2. Muta made numerous appearances for WCW over the years, so WWE will have lots of footage to utilize. Muta would follow Antonio Inoki, Jushin Liger, Tatsumi Fujinami as Japanese stars who were enshrined in the Hall.
The Hall of Fame will air live on the WWE Network and Peacock on Friday 3/31 following that night's Smackdown broadcast on FOX.
