Karrion Kross has opened up about his immediate unease regarding his initial WWE main roster debut presentation, revealing he felt it was an attempt to undermine the connection he had built with the audience. Speaking on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Kross detailed a pivotal conversation he had at the time.
“I don’t want to say who I called, because, again, it’s a private conversation, but I called somebody and I said, ‘This all feels really wrong. This all feels messed up, and it feels like they’re trying to kill my relationship and connection and my equity that I’ve built up with the audience. That’s what it feels like to me. Tell me that I’m wrong.’ The person said, ‘I can’t,'” Kross recounted.
Despite his misgivings, Kross maintained his professionalism. He continued, “I said, ‘I’m a consummate professional. I’m going to do whatever it is that you guys are telling me to do. That’s the deal. That’s what you sign up for.’ I said, ‘What do you want me to do’, and that person said, ‘Do business, and let’s figure it out on the other side.’ So I did business, and, you know, it was a very strange day.”
