Hideo Itami Returns At NXT Live Event

Hideo Itami returned at Saturday night’s NXT live event from Orlando, FL. He’s been out of action since October 1st when he suffered a neck injury. Over the past week, NXT star Riddick Moss has bragging on social media about putting Itami on the shelf (see above).

Last time Riddick Moss was at #NXTLargo I "took care" of @HideoItami

Tonight, NXT's Greatest Athlete takes care of someone else

This is just the beginning.#ThankYou @WWENXT
