Karrion Kross has been with WWE since 2020 and has had a dominant run in NXT, capturing the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: XXX. Although Kross has had a decent run on the main roster, the former Impact Wrestling star has yet to make a mark in the big leagues. Despite his overall success, Kross believes he hasn’t reached his full potential yet.
Speaking on the “Superstar Crossover with Josh Martinez” podcast, Kross revealed getting “really pissed” because his work isn’t enough and people haven’t seen the best of him yet.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not having reached his potential yet: “This is probably unhealthy, and I shouldn’t say it, but I’m just gonna say it. I actually get really pissed, because it’s not enough. It’s not enough. I haven’t reached my full potential yet and people haven’t seen my best work yet. I know what I can do, and at this level, you need to be afforded certain types of opportunities, which is difficult with a big roster and only two hours of the program.
“And I know that once I am afforded that particular shot — because I’ve been afforded a lot, let’s not get it twisted — once I am afforded that particularly shot to demonstrate what I can really do, what I’ve done where people on a major scale haven’t seen it? People are gonna be blown away. And I’m gonna fight for that every single week, to get closer and closer to that shot. And I’m being straight with you, I’m being very real.”
On what to expect of him: “I think you’re gonna be able to expect compelling storytelling. If I am granted and allotted the time to romance the audience and ‘Shakespeare’ them into what it is that I am very good at doing, which is laying down the foundations of eliciting an emotional response to get people interested in what we’re doing? You’re gonna see some great storytelling. And one of my jobs that I have kind of given to myself is to help fans see different layers of people that maybe they haven’t seen before that I’m gonna be working with. I like to put people in different situations and circumstances that perhaps they hadn’t been in prior to working with me. So that’s what they’re gonna get.”
