Hideo Itami, who has been medically cleared and ready to go for some time, finally made his return to the ring on Saturday night during a WWE NXT live event in Orlando, FL!
The 35-year-old Japanese star has been out of action since last October, after suffering a neck injury. The setback tragically came just months after Itami was on the shelf for more than a year after sustaining a serious shoulder injury. The announcement of his return comes just one day after Finn Balor made his surprise return at a WWE Live event that also involved Triple H, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho.
