Formerly known as“KENTA,” Hideo Itami has had a string of bad luck with injuries since moving to NXT from Japan.

After suffering a shoulder injury in May of 2015 that was supposed to sideline him for six months, he would suffer complications with rehabbing his shoulder and would end up missing over a year of in-ring action.

He returned to television on August 3rd, 2016, but would suffer a neck injury due to a botched power slam from Riddick Moss on October 12th at an NXT live event.

He vowed to return to in-ring competition at NXT’s first show in Japan, but was relegated to an in-ring speaking segment with NXT General Manager, William Regal. Itami will turn 36 in March, and with his injury history, he may not have many miles left.
