At last night’s NXT TV tapings, Kassius Ohno defeated “The Drifter” Elias Samson in a “Loser Leaves NXT” match.
Samson is expected to be called up to the main roster soon and it was noted today on Wrestling Observer Radio that the match was in fact done as a way to write him off of NXT TV and to set up his main roster debut.
It was speculated by Dave Meltzer that he would likely debut after WrestleMania and possibly even at the Raw the night after WrestleMania.
