#2.) Be a part of a faction
We mentioned the possibility of Itami being a part of a faction earlier. Truth be told, it doesn’t even necessarily have to be a heel faction. However, they would undoubtedly be more effective as heels. Triple H has always had his most pushed NXT superstars and a certain crop who he clearly trusted to carry the yellow brand.
Pre-injuries, Itami most definitely belonged to that list. He could be a part of an incredible faction comprising of the likes of Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe, among others. It would be a great rub for him, and being a part of a faction is another great way to protect any potential weaknesses.
