Update on Injury Status of NXT’s Hideo Itami & Sami Zayn

Both Hideo Itami and Sami Zayn appeared at Thursday’s WWE NXT television taping at Full Sail University.

Hideo Itami opened the night with an in-ring promo, announcing that he would still be at the upcoming July 4th live event in Japan despite his injury. He also challenged the winner of Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor, but noted he is still 3-4 months away from returning.

Former NXT Champion Sami Zayn also addressed the Full Sail crowd about his own injury. Zayn vowed to eventually get his revenge on career-long rival Kevin Owens, but announced that he would be out of action for the remainder of 2015.
