When Killian Dain was announced for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33, did anyone expect him to make it to the final three? If anyone claims to have seen that coming, they are clearly lying. Even so, Dain has been heavily protected in NXT so far and is positioned as SAnitY's best weapon.

With Tye Dillinger moving up to SmackDown Live, there is a space in the babyface column on the creative whiteboard next to 'feuding with SAnitY'. That space could be filled by any number of individuals (No Way Jose, Aleister Black, Roderick Strong), but the best option is Kassius Ohno.

NXT would also be wise to hold off on the Kassius Ohno vs. Eric Young battle right away. It may be better for Ohno to have to go through Young's underlings before getting his hands on the top dog at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn. Ohno vs. Dain would also be a great match, a showcase for Dain's ability as well as a chance to further establish Ohno in front of a new audience.
