The scheduled match was between Nakamura and his idol, Great Muta, who is conducting a final tour before retirement.

The match was the final single contest for Muta, before having two tag team actions to hang up his boots.

During the contest, Nakamura revealed a forgotten side of his strong-style performance and techniques as his style changed somehow inside WWE rings, in addition, they presented a strong storytelling form.

Muta used his red and green mist on Nakamura, on the other hand, Nakamura removed the mist from the mouth of Muta, and sprayed it back on him, executing ‘Kinshasa’ to capture the victory.

Nakamura went into tears after defeating Muta, repeating his thanks to the idol before his retirement.
