Looks like I won’t be getting the Hideo Itami vs. Buddy Murphy match I was hoping for. Hideo Itami has asked for his WWE release. In weeks following Mike and Maria Kanellis, The Revival, and Dean Ambrose all informing WWE of their desires to leave the company, FightfulWrestling.com has learned that Hideo Itami asked for …
