KENTA, made his expected debut with the WWE on their NXT Takeover Fatal 4 Way special under the new name of Hideo Itami. KENTA, the 33 year old international sensation signed with the WWE in the summer which made waves in the industry. Wresting professionally for over 14 years, KENTA was a former kickboxer who bases his wrestling style on strong kicks and is known for his arsenal of moves, many of which you may have noticed being bby some of your favorite wrestlers. Here is a video of some of those innovative moves. KENTA was introduced by William Regal at NXT Takeover show and spoke about his goals. KENTA also revealed during his promo segment that as a sign of tribute to his hero, who he didn’t name, he would be changing his ring name from KENTA to Hideo Itami.
That wasn’t all as the newly minted Hideo Itami was interrupted by NXT tag team The Ascension. One thing led to another and of course Itami cleared the ring of the two with some nice moves before grabbing a steel chair and sitting in the middle of the ring daring The Ascension to “come at me bro”. Ok, he didn’t say that. At least not with his words.
Impressive debut for the highly touted signing. Hideo has had great matches with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Austin Aries, Seth Rollins and many more. Here’s a video showing some of the moves of the man formerly known as KENTA, Hideo.
