Professional wrestling legend Keiji Mutoh, also known as The Great Muta, has once again captured World Championship gold. In addition to being a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, NJPW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and AJPW Triple Crown World Heavyweight Champion, Mutoh has added the Pro Wrestling NOAH Global Honored Crown World Heavyweight Championship to his stellar list of accomplishments as well.

Mutoh defeated 39-year-old Go Shiozaki to capture the prestigious championship. Shiozaki has had a very successful career in his own right, as he is a former AJPW Triple Crown World Heavyweight Champion and a seven-time Global Honored Crown Tag Team Champion in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
