6. Lars Stays On His Feet

Lars Sullivan should pick up the win against Kassius Ohno, but the real question doesn’t pertain to the outcome of the bout. The major interest lies in just how competitive the battle will be. Lars Sullivan is yet to be taken off his feet - will The Knockout Artist be the first to rattle the big man?

As much as I love Kassius Ohno, the answer to that question should be no. Ohno is an immensely credible competitor on the brand, but it seems less and less likely that big things are in his future. Lars Sullivan has a lot to gain by obliterating him.

A violently one-sided win for Sullivan will convince anyone who isn’t already on board that The Freak is a force to be reckoned with. It can all come back further down the line too, as the loss will be the jolt that Ohno needs in order to get his NXT career on track. There is a story to be told here, and Kassius Ohno almost picking up the win in the first match isn’t the right move.

When all is said and done on Saturday evening, the world must still wait to see who can knock Lars Sullivan off his feet first.
