#7 And the Superstar of the Week is… Hideo Itami
Trending
Undoubtedly the match of the week has to go to Itami Vs. Roderick Strong in their battle for the number one contendership for Bobby Roode’s NXT Title. It was a glorious way to end the week, and assigning the Superstar of the Week accolade probably would have gone to whoever won this match.
As previously stated, Itami might have already been NXT Champion by now if it wasn’t for his recent injury complications, but since his return, he has done everything he can to remind everyone exactly why.
Anyone who misses the likes of CM Punk or Daniel Bryan in a WWE ring should be thankful that Itami is now back in the spotlight. He fights a very similar style to Bryan in particular; it’s a real shame we never got to see that match up in a WWE ring! Nevertheless, his feud with Bobby Roode should be one for NXT folklore. Long may his second NXT run continue. Congratulations, Hideo Itami.
