Hideo Itami has unfortunately been out of action since last year but earlier this week he was teasing that he would be making his return at the NXT live event in Winter Haven, FL on Thursday night.
Luckily for the fans in attendance, Hideo Itami delivered on his tease and he not only made an appearance, he wrestled a match. Hideo Itami made his in ring return and he teamed with TM-61 to take on Samoa Joe, Tino Sabatelli and Wesley Blake.
