The talent swap is made possible by WWE forming a working relationship with the Japanese company. Just like their partnership with EVOLVE, it will lead to the empire signing more talent from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Itami performed as KENTA for Pro Wrestling Noah for eleven years before signing with NXT, capturing the GHC Heavyweight Championship, GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship three times, and the GHC Junior Tag Team Championships to name a few.
