Chris Hero Thought He Would Return To WWE NXT In 2017 Under His Current Name

AEW backstage producer Chris Hero recently appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he thought he would return to WWE NXT in 2017 under his current name instead of his previous “Kassius Ohno” name.

Hero said, “I started back (with WWE) in January 2017 and then I didn’t know until I was going out to make an appearance for the live crowd that I was going to be Kassius Ohno again. I thought I would be Chris Hero and they’re like, ‘Nope! You’re Kassius Ohno.’ I was like, well sh*t.”
