KENTA first came into the WWE with all the hype in the world behind him. The former GHC Heavyweight Champion joined the NXT brand, and much like his start in NJPW, KENTA got off to a red hot start.

Working as Hideo Itami in WWE, KENTA had a formidable run in NXT. However, the former Pro Wrestling NOAH sensation could've done a lot more if it wasn't for his constant injury issues. In 2015, KENTA was scheduled to face Finn Balor and Tyler Breeze at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable but was ruled out due to a shoulder injury.

With the former Hideo Itami being nowhere near returning to in-ring action, KENTA was forced to take a step back, as he sat on the sidelines for over a year. Shortly afterward, KENTA suffered yet another injury, this time to his neck after a botched power slam from Riddick Moss. The former GHC Heavyweight Champion did end up challenging Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship in 2017 but never got his hands on the title.

As he moved up to the main roster, KENTA started working on 205 Live as a Cruiserweight. The former Hideo Itami never won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship either and eventually left the company in February 2019.
