Karrion Kross is no longer with WWE after the two parties couldn’t agree on the terms of a new contract. His departure comes just months after a highly praised promotion following his match at WrestleMania 41.
Fans quickly talked about the promo, and reports surfaced regarding reactions backstage, describing a kind of excitement. On his YouTube channel, Kross shared that he wasn’t concerned about the feedback.
He quoted Triple H saying, “That was amazing.” Kross responded, “Thank you, is that okay?” Triple H added, “We’re so good! It’s nuts. That’s the guy!”
Kross’s promo, combined with his creative frustrations, sparked speculation that he might be striking out on his own. WWE insiders seemed to share this view, prompting Kross to clarify his position.
He explained, “Before I left, I told everyone this is just a job. Let them know I’m not actually upset—I love it here. I’m simply doing my job.”
Despite these statements, Kross didn’t land a bigger role or championship within WWE. He indicated that what he has to say goes beyond what’s shown on WWE programming.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans because it highlights the challenges even top talents face behind the scenes, affecting storylines and roster dynamics. Kross’s exit could open doors for fresh talents while reminding the industry that creative satisfaction is crucial for maintaining star power in wrestling.
