Since coming to WWE NXT Hideo Itami has been a rising star but now he will be on the sidelines. Itami will miss NXT Takeover Unstoppable tomorrow night due to a shoulder injury that will keep him out for 6-8 months.

Itami is a household name in the wrestling business he is mostly known for being a mega star in Japan. Impressing people with his fast speed and his deadly kicks he is mostly known for using a lot of kicks in his wrestling game. That is what makes him deadly but he can fly as well.

Itami was going to face Finn Bálor and Tyler Breeze tomorrow night for the number one contender for the NXT Championship. Now with the injury he will not be able too this is a big blow to Itami and to the WWE. The company wants Itami to become a huge star and this is going to slow him down a lot more. He is going to be a big star but the question is when will he be heeled from his injury and will be the same performer that he always been.

Itami has always had problems speaking English since he came to NXT. Before he was in NXT he been competing in Japan and other countries. This is going to be a learning curve for him but expect Itami to be called up to the WWE. If not this year then maybe next year but looking at him now he is no way near ready to get called up to the roster just yet.
