10 Predictions For NXT After TakeOver: San Antonio

2. Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Kassius Ohno

Chris Hero had a turbulent time during his NXT run between 2012 and 2013. Though he played a key role in the early stages of the re-branded developmental territory, he was rumoured to have been overlooked for a role in The Shield and was apparently let go due in part to his reluctance to train. This meant we were all caught a bit of guard when he returned to NXT recently, even taking on his old WWE ring name of Kassius Ohno.

All Ohno did was emerge from backstage to stand toe-to-toe with Nakamura, indicating towards the title belt. Though a returning Ohno would be a great fit for the NXT Title scene, there may be more intrigue currently with a showdown with the King of Strong Style. As mentioned earlier, Nakamura will likely take a few losses before heading to the main roster, and there may not be a bigger threat to put over than Kassius Ohno. The fans at Full Sail would be in for an incredibly hard-hitting treat should these two come to blows in NXT.
