#4.) Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens and Hideo Itami have a lot of unfinished business. When Hideo Itami was being pushed pre-injury, it seemed clear that he was the one who was going to become #1 contender for the NXT Championship and beat Owens for it at Beast In The East in Tokyo. Unfortunately, an injury canceled those plans and Itami was written off TV instead, with the storyline being that he was attacked.
Itami returned to the ring much later and they never followed up on the attacker storyline. The consensus was that Kevin Owens was the attacker, but even he got called up to the main roster around the time of Itami’s injury. They could finally playoff that storyline and have the feud that they never completed in NXT.
