No one has experienced as much setback and disappointment as Hideo Itami. When he arrived in NXT, fans were excited at the thought of one of the greatest WWE signees in quite a while was going to be on WWE programming.
Since his debut, Itami has been plagued with injury after injury, all at the most inopportune time as well. Well, it now appears that Hideo is back to 100% and doing just fine.
The true vindication came tonight when Itami defeated Roderick Strong in the main event of NXT on the WWE Network. Not only was this a huge win for Itami and a statement that he is back and better than ever, but the win also puts Itami in the main event at NXT Takeover: Chicago, where he will challenge NXT Champion Bobby Roode for his title.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
