4. Kevin Owens Vs. Hideo Itami
The overriding feeling is that if Hideo Itami hadn't have gotten injured, this match would have happened in NXT already. As it was, Itami got hurt and the story for his time out was built for fingers to be pointed in the direction of Mr Owens. Owens of course denied any involvement, because of course he did. Such stories are the bread and butter of professional wrestling, the heroic return from injury of the good guy to gain his revenge on the evil character who put him out of action. Logical story aside, I would love to see Kevin Owens and Hideo Itami get a chance to go at it, preferably over a longer time on a big stage. Itami's style is kick where as Owens' style is beat folk up, and despite the technical abilities of both men I believe there is a delightful brawl waiting to happen here.
