Hideo Itami could mean big things for 205 Live...

The Rumour:

Hideo Itami is a guy who should have been called up to the WWE main roster a long time ago. He was in NXT before many people who have been called up since but injuries have stood in his way. With a debut on 205 Live coming up soon, it looks like WWE has big plans for the man formally known around the world as Kenta. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted Itami is being set up in a big way to lead the 205 Live brand as he will "likely anchor the shows with Amore."

The Potential:

Hideo Itami is capable of doing way more than working with Cruiserweights, but his superior skillset will do wonders to validate the 205 Live roster which is already full of outstanding talent. Enzo Amore's Zo Train is pretty dense at this point consisting of practically every heel on the 205 Live roster. Therefore, it looks like Hideo Itami could have plenty of heads to kick in on his way to the top of WWE's weekly Cruiserweight showcase.

The Fallout:

The NXT Title was never in the cards for Hideo Itami during his run in NXT. Although he did get a title shot or two, Itami never captured the title. But with his insertion into a top level on 205 Live, it might only be a matter of time until Itami is getting his first taste of wearing a championship under WWE's banner.
