Chris Hero made his NXT return at Thursday night’s TV tapings from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. (Full Results). He’s back using his old NXT ring name, Kassius Ohno.
After a match for the 1/25 episode that saw Tajiri and Shinsuke Nakamura take on Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode, Ohno’s entrance video played and he came out wearing a suit. He entered the ring, signaled that he wants Nakamura’s NXT Championship and left the ring.
Our live correspondent was under the impression that the tag team match was a dark match, so we’ll see if this airs on the show. Either way, Ohno is a big addition to the NXT roster and has done tremendous work on the independent scene since his last run back in 2013.
