Kassius Ohno vs. Elias Samson (Loser Leaves NXT match)
It’s time for our main event of the night. The crowd seemed really into the match, all throughout. Both the men took the other down in pinfall attempts, neither managing to succeed. Samson got Ohno into a headlock, but he reversed it into an armlock.
Some knockdowns and quick covers followed from Ohno, but The Drifter would kick out. Samson drifted (no pun intended) to the outside, but a baseball slide caught him as Ohno pushed him back inside. Samson pushed Ohno into the ringside post, as the latter tumbled to the outside and we went into commercial.
We return from Wrestlemania 33 commercials to see Elias Samson beating down on Kassius Ohno. Ohno kicked out of a near fall and Samson reversed a pinfall attempt into a beautiful crossface/Banks Statement. After struggling for an extended period of time, Ohno finally reached the bottom rope and Samson let go of him. The two men exchanged some hard fists and Ohno kicked out of another pinfall attempt. Ohno retaliated with some hard knees and a roundhouse kick, scoring a near fall on The Drifter. The match was heating up.
Samson tried to score a pinfall with his feet on the ropes but the official saw it. Ohno retaliated with some hard open hand slaps to Samson. Ohno barely kicked out after a knee from Samson. Ohno also kicked out of a neckbreaker and a pinfall roll up when Samson got him into a roll up attempt. A Rolling Elbow out of nowhere from Ohno knocked Samson out, allowing him to pick up the win.
Kassius Ohno def. Elias Samson, Samson has to leave NXT forever.
Elias Samson could not come to terms with the fact that he had to leave NXT for good. Two referees and several officials came in to drag him out of the arena. Samson said he would leave but he just needed his guitar. We saw Kassius Ohno with the guitar soon after. As Samson came to the ring to get his guitar back, Ohno stomped on it breaking it for good! We went off the air, with Ohno breaking the guitar some more.
