– Dave Meltzer revealed on the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio (via Ringside News that a finish at a live event for a match between Kassius Ohno and Chad Lail was changed mid-match. Based on Meltzer’s account, Ohno was originally scripted to go over, and Lail was working as a heel at the start of the match.

Meltzer stated the following on how the match went:

“There were a couple of fans in the very beginning going, ‘Chad, Chad, Chad’ for whatever reason. More and more people jumped in and pretty soon everyone is doing this. Chad Lail is heel in NXT but he’s never on TV so you wouldn’t know that and Ohno ia a babyface. So they’re doing this. In the middle of the match, all of a sudden it just flips. Ohno starts playing heel and loses. They just changed the match — completely changed everything on the fly. Yes, that’s what they did and Ohno would have won. Ohno always beats Lail and he lost. They changed the finish just so that the crowd would be real happy and they were.”
