As he continues to search for grander opportunities, Kassius Ohno found himself squaring off against one of the WWE Performance Center’s brightest prospects, Adrian Jaoude.

Ohno didn’t seem to take Jaoude, a former Pan American Games silver medalist, too seriously at first. And Jaoude made him pay for it, taking down Ohno with a waist lock and, later, a high-crotch lift.

Perhaps frustrated by being shown up, Ohno leapt into high gear, pulverizing Jaoude with kicks that will leave the Brazilian Superstar tasting boot leather for the next few weeks. The Knockout Artist then nearly put his elbow through Jaoude’s neck with the Dream Crusher to score the emphatic win.
