Zayn to Have Surgery?, Itami Injury Update

While Sami Zayn was medically cleared to return for NXT Takeover: Unstoppable, the word in the locker room is that he needs shoulder surgery. He may have the surgery as early as next month and the way the Unstoppable main event was booked may have been to write him off.
– While there’s been a lot of discussion about the amount of wear and tear that some of the WWE and NXT talent have taken over their careers causing injuries, Hideo Itami’s injury is believed to have been a fluke.

NXT News: Vince McMahon Impressed With Charlotte, Reason Hideo Itami Won, More

As previously reported, Vince McMahon was in attendance for the NXT event this past Friday in San Jose, California. He was said to be very impressed with the work of Charlotte and Sasha Banks. There was talk of Charlotte going to the main roster during Wrestlemania week and now that’s increased after McMahon saw her work. He’s also requested that she be featured more in the WWE’s Tapout commercials.

– Hideo Itami won the NXT tournament for a spot in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, but it was a last minute decision. The original plan was for Finn Balor or Adrian Neville to go over. When the match was moved to the pre-show, the decision was changed to Itami. He was selected to tie him into Tatsumi Fujinami going into the WWE Hall of Fame, as there were a lot of Japanese media in town covering Fujinami.

– The decision to bring Neville to the main roster has been in the works for a while now.

– CJ Parker decided to leave NXT because he felt he had been in development long enough. He has been there for almost four years. He wants to go out on the independents and make a name for himself. He also wants to wrestle internationally and improve his skills. He reportedly didn’t want to be seen as a talent who spent too much time in developmental and never moved on.

Update On Which NXT Stars Will Be Called Up Next

 Hideo Itami (KENTA) and Finn Balor (Prince Devitt) are expected to be the next two NXT talents to be called up before anyone else.

According to The Wrestling Observer, Itami wants to be part of the NXT system while he adapts to the WWE in-ring style and improves his English. Balor, however, “wasn’t brought in to spend (two or) three years” in developmental. He will have a run in NXT due to the way WWE develops talent, but he could be brought to RAW “before 90% or 95% of the talent in NXT that’s there now will be up.”

Opinionated View- Well Balor and Itami don't belong in NXT. The problem is WWE get great talent and goes "Now we have to teach them our way." Instead of letting that talent do the moves and style that made them pick up a following or would let them stand out from the others guys on the roster.
