Video: Hideo Itami Hits The GTS At WWE NXT Takeover

It looks like Hideo Itami's first big post-return feud will be with Austin Aries.

After Aries defeated No Way Jose at WWE NXT "Takeover: Brooklyn II" tonight, Itami came out to stop a post-match beatdown. Itami finally hit the GTS, using it to lay Aries out. Announcers Corey Graves and Tom Phillips mentioned how Itami created the hold, a reference to CM Punk using it during his wrestling days.

Below is video of Itami using the move:
