Kushida made his return to in-ring competition during tonight’s NXT episode, where he came back from a wrist injury that left him out for months. Although he was initially scheduled to take on Raul Mendoza, Mendoza was attacked on his way out to the ring by Cameron Grimes, who took his place in the ring. It didn’t matter much to Kushida, though, who was able to walk away with a victory in his first match back against Grimes.
