Problem with Itami is that his war chest of moves got gutted badly in the WWE either because other guys use them (ex. GTS, Knee that beat John Cena, Kimura Lock, etc), nobody wants to take them (ex. most of his kick types), or banned as regular moves (ex. Crossface). Even his double stomp was given to Balor for finisher status (Balor did the same move in New Japan though).

Combine that with him struggling getting used to the WWE is why he's very likely staying in NXT a lot longer than expected.
