Hideo Itami has confirmed that he is out injured until December in which NXT takes over Osaka, Japan. 

“Unfortunately, I got injured. So I will not be able to be in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Kota Ibushi. I’m not sure about Takeover. But I promise, I promise you, I will be in NXT Osaka, Japan in December."

 He's out with a neck injury as he took a powerslam from Riddick Moss at an NXT event in Florida.
