I highly doubt it. First off Kasich is too popular for people to be lining up in a primary. Second, if you look around at the type of Republicans in office in Ohio, most are establishment types rather than Tea Partiers. The most notable Tea Partier in Ohio is probably Jim Jordan and he's not about to throw out a safe congressional district for as long as he wants it to primary a sitting governor.
The sentiment in the Ohio GOP is that we pushed too far with Senate Bill 5 and really don't want to get burned again. And the a decent portion of the Republican voters also voted to strike that down, along with substantial legislators. There's just not that much room to Kasich's right that he needs to worry.
