Karrion Kross had a memorable run in NXT, where he won the NXT Championship twice. However, all of that went to waste after his initial main roster run ended up destroying his reputation and led to his release.
Kross returned to WWE and immediately attacked Drew McIntyre during the closing moments of SmackDown back in August last year. He had a long feud with McIntyre and then began a feud with Rey Mysterio and now with AJ Styles.
While speaking on Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell talked about Karrion Kross’ booking in WWE. Mantell stated that he believes WWE no longer has high expectations from Karrion Kross.
They don’t expect anything big out of Karrion Kross and AJ because they tried Karrion Kross. I don’t know what it is. Let’s compare LA Knight with Karrion Kross. One guy has it, and Karrion Kross doesn’t. I don’t care what they do with him. I don’t care. LA Knight’s a hell of a promo. But Kross, he’s got ‘Tick Tock.’ That’s bu***. If I had to rely on Tick Tock as a gimmick, save you money, Mr. Kross.
Karrion Kross was also urged to cut his hair and revert back to his old NXT look. Regardless, only time will tell whether WWE will have anything substantial planned for The Harbinger of Doom.
