Last month, Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to become the NXT Champion, and while the two will probably have a rematch for the title at some point, the rematch won’t take place over WrestleMania weekend.
According to Cageside Seats, Kassius Ohno, formerly known as Chris Hero, will challenge Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: Orlando.
Ohno recently returned to WWE”s developmental system after a four-year absence. As of right now, it’s unclear if WWE is planning on calling the 37 year old up to the main roster in the future, or if he’ll only be used down in NXT.
If WWE does have Ohno challenge Roode for the title in Orlando, that could mean that we might not be all that far away from a Shinsuke Nakamura main roster call up.
