Hideo Itami injured again, could be out for months

[Prince Bálor]

- Hideo Itami took a scary looking bump after a botched powerslam from Riddick Moss at the October 2nd WWE NXT live event in Largo, FL, as seen below. Itami had teamed with NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura to defeat Tino Sabbatelli & Moss. Itami hasn't wrestled since that event.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Itami did injure his neck at the show, and will be out of action "for months." While they noted that the injury was neck-related, they did not know the exact injury. It was recently announced that Itami would team with Kota Ibushi in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, however that announcement was made before the injury.

Oh, FFS. That really sucks. He just came back from injury recently and now he's injured again. Poor Hideo.

And man, oh man. That was one scary botch.

Get well soon, Hideo!

 

[Black Iron PJ]

That's fucking awful to hear, I was expecting him and Ibushi to go on a tear in the Dusty Rhodes Classic. After this he should really ask for either a release or start vying for a call up to the main roster because I think at this point his appeal on NXT is getting more and more irrelevant with Nakamura's presence.

That injury was pretty much his opponent's fault. The guy is very green and rushed that powerslam. Just poor Hideo. He was brought in with so much promise and just as his stock was rising again, he got bit by the injury bug...again.

Get well Hideo.

 

[Dat Kid1]

Welp, guess that Moss guy is getting fired

[RedDwarfTechy]

Damn that sucks! Get well soon Hideo!

 

[CrayJ Lee]

Wow, he can't seem to catch a break. I hope he isn't out for long with this injury.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Thread already exists.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Hideo confirms that he has indeed suffered an injury and won't be able to compete in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

He's unsure whether he'll be at NXT TakeOver: Toronto.

However, he promises to be part of the NXT live event in Osaka this December.

So, all in all, the injury doesn't seem to be THAT bad. Which is good news.

Have a speedy recovery and see you soon, Hideo!

 

[The Gipper]

Kota Ibushi will team up with TJ Perkins. Eh, Would have preferred Hideo & Ibushi but it's not bad at all

 

[Prince Bálor]

Update:


They should send him to the main roster already.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Oh geeze, they just keep coming and coming.. what terrible timing. Hopefully it's a good recovery and he'll be able to compete like his self again.

No, dude. Hideo got injured back in October, but now he is ready to return.
