BREAKING NEWS: WWE Star Has Been Released From The Company — See Who WWE Is Possibly Releasing With Him — GOODBYE To WWE

By on January 31, 2019

WWE Star Hideo Itami has been released from the company, according to report from multiple sources.

NXT and 205 Live’s Hideo Itami has reportedly requested his release from WWE, and while PWInsider says they haven’t granted it yet, word is they plan to.

It seems pretty official, in part because of what we’ve seen on social media. Itami changed his handle back to his ringname from Japan & the indies (KENTA, a stylized version of his real name, Kenta Kobayashi). And the men & women he’s traveled with since he was one of Triple H’s first big NXT signees are saying their goodbyes.

On his WWE Release, Rusev made this statement: Thank you Kenta and thank you Dean.

Mostly in the form of replying to what looks like his farewell tweet:

This is bittersweet, because it’s clear at this point that injuries robbed him of a shot at main roster success, and toiling on the cruiserweight show isn’t going to pay him enough to make it worthwhile to be away from his family.

He should be happier, and NOAH will be getting a hell of veteran hand back.

Thanks KENTA. We’ve always respected you.
