Hideo Itami has had a fairly impressive run on 205 Live so far. It hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, but the fact of the matter is that it’s been his most consistent run since he joined WWE. It’s clear that had he not suffered multiple injuries through his time in NXT, his position on the WWE roster would have been very different.
When he was signed, Itami was treated as an international sensation, and he was seemingly being groomed for an NXT title run. Had that come to fruition, there’s little doubt that Itami would most likely have gone to RAW or SmackDown Live over 205 Live. Nothing against 205 Live, but Itami has a lot more potential than people realize.
With that said, competing with the most elite level opponents would probably be a big motivator to Itami, who would likely step up his game in the process. If he were to come to RAW or SmackDown Live, these would be the five most ideal opponents for him.
