WWE officials have reportedly been discussing the possibility of calling up Hideo Itami to the main roster following a disappointing start in NXT. The current plan is for the Japanese star to join the Raw brand's Cruiserweight division and have him compete on 205 Live, according to PWInsider.

Itami was a hot prospect when he joined WWE NXT in 2014 but a series of injuries plagued the former Pro Wrestling NOAH and Ring of Honor star who has spent a lot of time sitting out recovering.
