The reason No Way Jose disappeared from NXT television and wasn’t at live events over the past month was because he was dealing with injuries.

The injuries were not too serious as he returned to action at Thursday’s set of television tapings at Center Stage in Atlanta. While Jose is not booked for the upcoming Takeover event in Philadelphia, it looks like he could be receiving a push because he defeated Cezar Bononi at the tapings.
