It's not like WWE was particularly doing anything of note with Tozawa before this year's Backlash PPV, but to see him turn up at that show with a group of ninjas in tow was just a tad out of left-field. That gimmick change itself was jarring enough, but then the ridiculously talented Tozawa was soon inserted into the 24/7 Title picture - somewhere where he still sadly finds himself as 2020 rolls to an end.
