The the 4/5/17 television tapings continued as it featured Kassius Ohno and Roderick strong taking on The Authors Of Pain. NXT is obviously trying to push AOP to the moon. Tokkar and Rezar defeated Ohno and Strong clean in definitive fashion. Ohno was the one who took their finisher and the former Chris Hero put them over clean. Newcomer Jeet Rama defeated Jay Skyler. NXT obviously sees something in this Indian superstar. Bobby Roode later came out and delivered one of his Glorious promos.

But, he wasn’t going to trash talk for long until someone came out to try and shut him up.
