It's been a minute since we've seen the NXT Superstar Hideo Hitami.

And by a minute, we mean more than a year. He participated in the Andre the Giant Battle Royale at WrestleMania last year, and was taken out of the match and suffered a shoulder injury while being eliminated. He was then taken off television and NXT programming with a storyline that involved him getting into a parking lot brawl, but his recovery took much longer than expected.

Earlier this week, fellow NXT wrestler, Shinsuke Nakamura posted a picture of Hideo, hinting that the former KENTA was ready to go once more.

So tonight, Hideo made his return and participated in a six-man tag match and reported looked good as new.


With the WWE Draft coming in a few weeks, the main roster could use somebody with his experience, or he could help stabalize the NXT brand should Finn Balor get called up instead.

Either way, it's good to see Hideo go go once more!
