WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently acknowledged his ongoing rivalry with Karrion Kross, emphasizing the unique intensity building toward their highly anticipated match at SummerSlam this weekend. Zayn highlighted Kross’s talent and expressed that his colleague deserves more recognition before their heated rubber match unfolds.

Sami Zayn Highlights Karrion Kross’s Underutilized Talent
In a candid interview with the Toronto Sun, Sami Zayn broke character to praise Karrion Kross’s character and acknowledged that he had not been given ample opportunities on WWE’s main roster since his NXT Championship reign. Zayn found it impressive that fans are gradually embracing Kross’s persona, despite the character’s limited visibility.
“I kind of wish there was a little bit of more recent steam on it. I know things have picked up in the last month with he and I. But to watch the way fans have sort of got behind him in a way recently is really interesting to me, really interesting. He hasn’t been given a whole lot. It’s just been like a minute back here, a minute back there, sprinkled over, you know, several, several months. And that slow burn, as you put it, has kind of, I don’t know, made people a lot more intrigued and just really want to see him get more of an opportunity.” —Toronto Sun, Sami Zayn
Zayn’s remarks shed light on Kross’s slow-building momentum, suggesting that the character’s appeal is growing steadily despite minimal exposure.
