NXT‘s Hideo Itami has been medically cleared for a while now, but finally made his way back to the black and yellow world of NXT over the weekend at live event in Orlando.
A post shared by WWE NXT (@wwenxt) on
The Japanese wrestling superstar made a name for himself over the years performing as KENTA, but since arriving in WWE, he’s tried to make an impact in their developmental brand but a string of injuries has kept him at bay. This time around, though, Itami is looking to set his course straight again and looking to take out Riddick Moss, the man who he blames for his six-month absence. He delivered his innovated GTS finisher and made his presence know once again.

It’s unclear how long Itami will find himself in NXT this time around, but a push to the main roster is definitely in his future should he remain healthy. Itami was one of Triple H’s biggest signings along with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Finn Balor.
