Karrion Kross: “I’m Here To Kill The Old To Make Way For The New
Karrion Kross has discussed his new goal for his career. The former NXT Champion was previously called up to the WWE main roster in July 2021. However, he ended up getting released from the company in November. He returned to the company in August 2022, and has been leading the Final Testament on WWE Raw.
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Karrion Kross discussed his career up to this point. Kross pointed out the history is written by the winners but he hasn’t felt like a winner lately. The former two-time NXT Champion has eviscerated everyone in NXT and was called up to the main roster before getting released.
Since his return, his run has been lackluster. He said that he felt suffocated by the presence of legends, who hadn’t offered advice or guidance. He believes nature’s true process is to kill the old and make way for the new. Kross wants to oust the veterans and make way for emerging talents.
‘History is always written by the victors, and lately, I haven’t always felt like the victor. I could pinpoint the exact moment things shifted. I eviscerated everyone in NXT. I mean every single person they put in front of me, I chainsawed right through them. Then, my name gets called. Very exciting. With the whole world watching, I’m humiliated. I’m lost, I’m very confused. I don’t understand what’s happening. Nobody cared. Every legend that tells you they’re here for the new, upcoming talent, they didn’t do anything for me. They just watched me suffocate. I went from being an undefeated champion to ‘your services are no longer required’ in just four months. You know why? Because I was a threat.
He added:
“I was a threat to all the boys in the back that were afraid for their spots. They’d be happy to undercut a new fresh face coming up. To all of you, these guys are legends. But to me, they’re all liars. They didn’t offer any advice, no help, no guidance. Couldn’t even make eye contact in the hallway. They can go to hell. I don’t want you to misunderstand, don’t confuse this. I’m not jealous or bitter. I, in fact, am nature’s true process. I’m here to kill the old to make way for the new. Their vanity prevents them from understanding and seeing that they’re wilting on the vine. Your time is up. I’m just here to show you the truth, the devil you know versus the devils you don’t.”
Kross was featured on last night’s edition of WWE Raw when The Miz betrayed R-Truth during their match against Authors of Pain, who got the victory.
For weeks Kross has been playing mind games with The Miz and urging him to embrace his darker side and he has succeeded. In the past, he has also manipulated New Day’s Xavier Woods, who has been showing his aggressive side lately and even picked up a win over WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio by unmasking him.
