During a recent audio update on PWInsider Elite, Mike Johnson mentions that WWE currently has no plans in place to bring NXT Star Kassius Ohno up to the main roster.
“I have not heard anything about Kassius Ohno being brought up to the main roster at any point in time in the near future.”
Johnson goes on to explain that there has not been any upward mobility for Kassius Ohno, and that he is now basically serving the role of a veteran there to help younger talent along through developmental.
“I don’t see any upward mobility for him, or plans for him to have the upward mobility anytime soon. I think he’s more there to serve the role of a veteran to work with others and to make them better. But that was the role Tye Dillinger had in NXT for many, many years and eventually the decision was made; “Hey, we should bring him up to the SmackDown side of things.” So, never say never. I wouldn’t write off Kassius Ohno, but I haven’t heard anything definitively that leads me to believe it’s going to happen any time soon.”
