Hideo Itami took on Drew Gulak in a solid match, and he looks like a legitimate big time star in the NXT championship picture. We don’t know if he'll be the one to challenge Nakamura after his Austin Aries feud is done. But whether or not that is the case, we're glad to see Itami return in such great form since his injury.
Of course, nothing gets a louder pop than the ‘Go to Sleep' finisher (which had first been used by Itami, long before C.M. Punk).
