Karrion Kross did not mince words in a scathing post-WrestleMania appearance, unleashing frustration after being absent from the WrestleMania 41 card despite the event taking place in his hometown of Las Vegas. While he made a brief appearance during the Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles match, attempting to help AJ, he got laid out for his efforts.
Speaking with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, a visibly agitated Kross sarcastically congratulated Paul on his victory, stating, “Let’s talk about how awesome it is that Logan Paul just won. And let’s talk about, Sam, let’s talk about what Logan Paul represents. The shortcut. Feels so good to be here. Feels so good to be in the business, thinking about all of the funerals that I wasn’t able to attend for the last eleven years in this business, all the holidays I missed. You know, I could have just started a YouTube channel. Could have just jumped in there with AJ Styles. Feels really good, right? It’s awesome. It’s really good.” His wife, Scarlett, echoed their disappointment, questioning their value despite their combined 25 years of experience.
Kross then directed his ire towards AJ Styles, referring to him as “Alan,” for refusing his help during the match against Paul. “All I asked Alan to do was, for once, to not think about just himself. Think about everybody in the back and think about the professional wrestling fans. That’s all I wanted him to do. Sometimes, to do the right thing, you have to do the wrong thing. But he’s a narcissist, and he had to do it his way. Hey, Alan, how many more Wrestlemanias do you have in your system? Probably, I don’t know one. Maybe it’s just the last one, and you just pissed that away for what for, what for your way. Thanks a lot, bud. I really appreciate it.”
He further elaborated on his disillusionment with WWE’s priorities, recounting advice from Bill Goldberg to “be a good soldier,” a sentiment Kross now views with cynicism after his release and subsequent booking. “You want to know what the best advice I ever got it was? It was from Bill Goldberg, 2021 back when I was in The Twilight Zone. You know what I mean, I’m wrestling for gasoline. It was awesome. Let me tell you all about it. Bill goes, Hey Kross, you know what? You remind me a lot of me. I go, I think we have different styles. Bill, but I really appreciate that you have any advice for me? He goes, You know what? You just got to be a good soldier. A good soldier, is what he said. So I decided to be a good soldier. You know what happened? They released me, and then I come back. You know, being a good soldier gets you everybody here. Just so in case you’re wondering, you want the back, the back scoop here, being a good soldier gets your times cut. Being a good soldier means that people come up to you and say, Hey, you got any great ideas? Yeah, here it is from Scarlett. No, no, that’s a little too great. We’re looking just for good ideas. Nice for those guys over there. That’s what being a good soldier is, okay. Being a good soldier is coming to your hometown where you cut your teeth. We got started and not being on the card. It’s all about viral moments. It’s all about viral moments.”
Kross expressed his frustration at being overlooked despite what he felt was undeniable momentum and organic fan support. In a fiery conclusion, he directly addressed a WWE executive, stating, “You want a viral moment on behalf of all of the true fans of professional wrestling. Guy with the suit and tie in the truck, go fuck yourself. That’s from Killer Kross.
