However, back in 2017, the current reigning and defending NXT Cruiserweight Champion was contemplating retirement from professional wrestling due to ongoing health issues.
Kushida took to social media earlier today to tell the story to the WWE Universe and how a match with Kyle O’Reilly around that time gave him the desire to have another one with him in WWE somewhere down the line.
Kushida’s match with Kyle O’Reilly meant a great deal to him
Reflecting on his past after the excellent match he had with Kyle O’Reilly last night on NXT shows just how much that moment meant to him.
While it’s unknown if Kushida still has issues with his stomach now, we can only hope that he’s doing better health-wise in 2021.
Triple H wants to focus more on the NXT Cruiserweight division this summer, and Kushida is right in the thick of things as the current champion.
