– During a recent appearance on The Kevin Gill Show, Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) gave his thoughts about longtime friend Kevin Owens holding the top title on the RAW brand, the WWE Universal Championship.
“I was happy for him and the journey that he’s been on,” he said. “But also I was happy for wrestling. I was happy because it’s different and it’s a new direction. I think everybody’s sick of the same old. Sometime you’ve just got to go in a different direction and they did.”
Ohno returned to NXT earlier this month and will be wrestling his final show for EVOLVE this weekend in San Antonio during Royal Rumble weekend.
