Chris Hero is back!
After plenty of speculation, the former NXT star confirmed he is no longer with WWE and reverted back to his old moniker. As seen in the video below, black and white clips of Kassius Ohno’s WWE highlights play before color footage of Hero starts to roll. Hero’s Pro Wrestling Tees store also features four new designs; he posted a link in the replies to the new teaser video.

Last week, Kassius Ohno’s profile was moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com, which got plenty of consideration since it happened during WWE’s mass cut day. Ohno remained quiet on the matter and did not respond to request for confirmation but later posted an image of his ring boots being left in the ring, leading to more questions about his status. Now just a day later, we have our answer and it appears Kassius Ohno’s time is over, but Chris Hero is primed for one more run.
