WWE parted ways with Kassius Ohno last week, making it the second time that he was released from NXT.

The question is now what could be next for the 40-year-old wrestling technician. On Sunday night, he teased everyone with a tweet of his boots in an empty ring.

Traditionally, that is the sign of someone announcing their retirement. But come to find out, that is only for Kassius Ohno. On Monday night, the “Wrestling Genius” released another tweet announcing that Chris Hero is back.

Hero will be a huge boost to the independent scene whenever the world gets back to normal which may take a while. In the meantime, feel free to dream about the matches he could have with the likes of Bandido or even Will Ospreay.
