WWE star Karrion Kross recently discussed his ambitions beyond wrestling during an appearance on The Masked Man Show. While continuing to focus on his in-ring career, Kross revealed an eagerness to explore the role of a producer within WWE. His interest in production stems from both learning opportunities and the creative input he has already provided to other talents in the company.
Building Confidence Through Peer Feedback
Kross spoke about the encouragement he has received from fellow wrestlers who seek his advice.
“I would be open to it. I don’t think I’ve said this publicly, but I have expressed interest in learning how to produce. I will never say who because it’s not important, but I’ve had people far more successful than I have, run their ideas by me to get my opinion on it, run their promos by me to get my opinion on it,”
he explained. This interaction with established performers has bolstered his confidence, affirming his knowledge and abilities in the industry.
Validation and Prioritizing Wrestling Career
Receiving recognition from peers has been significant for Kross, who finds motivation in their respect. He shared,
“I’ve always been so flattered by that because some of the people I have watched, even before I was in the business, are coming to me. I’ll never say who it is, but that made me feel, aside from how the audience is reacting to what I’m doing, my confidence went through the roof if very successful people are coming to me and asking me for my opinion.”
Despite his producer ambitions, Kross remains committed to his wrestling career, noting that there are still many stories and matches he wants to pursue.
He emphasized,
“I feel like, ‘Perhaps other people feel that I know what I’m doing.’ I certainly do, but to get that validation from people above you and your peers is a very good feeling. I have expressed interest, but my number one priority is to be in the ring. There is still meat on the bone left and so many stories we haven’t told yet. So many amazing talents I haven’t had a chance to work with. Right now, we’re headed in the right direction.”
Looking Ahead in WWE
Karrion Kross is balancing hopes for future backstage roles with a strong desire to continue competing inside the ring. His evolving career reflects both a willingness to expand his skill set and a dedication to storytelling through wrestling. As he advances, fans can anticipate new chapters in his journey alongside surprising partnerships and creative breakthroughs.
