I'd do that just to see Kentas reaction to holly attempting to bully and rough house him
Makes me wonder what Steen will be when he comes over to WWE. Hopefully Toyota is only his NXT name.
Honestly make him the new Paul Heyman guy but only have Paul talk about him before he comes up and reap the success he has, don't even both with promo entrances, or leading up to the match. Paul talks about an up and coming star, he walks out with him, and then does backstage interviews after matches would make me so happy. Let him keep the CM Punk moveset, if Punk ever returns it'd be great to have Heyman have to choose, but in the weeks leading up to a Punk return have him talk about Kenta being the one ripped off.
There are so many great ways WWE can do this, I just have sincere doubt they do it. It'd be 10000x better than if they had Hunico vs a black masked real Cara, leading to a face off between the two where Hunico get's to really show off. Unfortunately he will just be a platform for Generico to jump from (which i'm cool with) or a staple in NXT. The real shame is how WWE really only does one spanish/mexican luchador star, same as they will one Japanese star. There is plenty of room for multiples of each to shine.

He is quite injury prone, must be fine now if wwe signed him. Still think he had been phoning it in a bit.
It's cool he gets to keep his name....even if not in all caps. Apparently he initially wrestled under his real name, but due to potential confusion with his mentor, Kenta Kobashi (in both English and Japanese), he dropped his surname, only to use his given name. At least he will still be known as Kenta so that probably will help him, even if just a little bit.
Yup. That's the story of KENTAs name.
If he'll be Kenta in the long run in WWE is not clear yet I think. He can always be rebranded once competing.
If I could like this post 90 times I would.
Sounds like a post I'd make for a number of reasons.
Think of all the racism.
