Will Itami head home? — Is Itami headed home?

Hideo Itami, formerly known as Kenta, was a legend in Japan, way before he came over to the west. So far, his WWE career has been filled with obstacles and roadblocks, with untimely injuries cutting off his momentum time and again.

While most wrestlers would call moving from NXT to the main roster a promotion, the same cannot be said for Itami as he was drafted in the Cruiserweight division and will now be working 205 Live shows.

Once a feared striker and also the creator of moves like the GTS and Busaiku Knee, Itami deserves far better. But, it is evident that the WWE management does not view him as a top star and with that Hideo Itami might be tempted to be Kenta again and head home to Japan.
