According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, NXT superstar Hideo Itami has been cleared by medical personnel and is expected to return to NXT television within the coming weeks.

Itami has been out of action since he suffered a neck injury back in October when he received a botched spinning powerslam from Riddick Moss.

There is no word on what Itami will be doing once he returns to the ring.
