Karrion Kross has intensified his feud with Sami Zayn on WWE RAW, accusing the former Intercontinental Champion of hiding behind a fabricated heroic image. Kross insists that Zayn could have achieved multi-time world champion status if he embraced a darker side. The tension escalated recently when Kross attacked Zayn with a steel pipe en route to the ring, further fueling their rivalry.
Kross hints at revealing hidden truths about WWE colleagues
In an interview with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard to promote his upcoming book, Life Is Fighting, Karrion Kross revealed that his character’s story goes deeper than what fans have seen. When asked about others he exposes as “truth-tellers” on <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE RAW, Kross said his interactions span nearly everyone he’s worked with. He expressed regret over not developing a storyline involving Roman Reigns further and mentioned he would have liked to explore a narrative with Solo Sikoa. Overall, Kross described his role as an engaging and enjoyable character to portray.
Hmm… Just about everybody. [laughs] Anyone that I have worked with. I’ll tell you, I really would have liked to have gone a little bit further down the road with the Roman [Reigns] story and really pay that off, —Karrion Kross
That’s something people always talk to me about and bring that up all the time. I would have loved to have done something with Solo [Sikoa]. That would have been very cool. But yeah, in general, this has been a really fun character to play. —Karrion Kross
Anticipation builds for Kross’ ‘world-altering’ backstory revelation
Karrion Kross then teased a major revelation about how his character evolved, promising details that will astonish fans. He described the unfolding story—featuring his mysterious connection with Scarlett and the destructive impact on others’ lives—as something beyond what the audience expects. The wrestler emphasized that once the truth behind these events is revealed, it will drastically change fans’ understanding of his character and the narrative.
And when the time is right, I’m going to tell everybody how this all happened. And it’s going to blow their minds. How we got to this character who is, for a lack of better words, putting curses on people with Scarlett, and the spiraling out and crashing out of their lives following, how all that came to be. When I tell people how all this played out, it’s going to be world-altering, —Karrion Kross
Because the real story behind all of this to where we are right now is actually unbelievable and I can’t wait to get there. We are going to get there, but it’s going to be unbelievable. That’s all I can say; it’s not what people think. —Karrion Kross
When asked about the timing for this announcement, Kross responded with a laugh, “Really soon. Really soon.”
