Sam Roberts interviewed Karin Kross for Not Sam Wrestling, where he discussed a wide range of topics, including his WWE arrival.
Before going to WWE, Kross had made a name for himself on the independent scene and as Killer Kross in TNA Wrestling. In 2020, WWE announced he had signed with the company. It was Jon Moxley, who urged Kross to talk with Triple H and gave him his phone number.
“He basically said, ‘Hey, listen, I’m not telling you where to go or how to make money, but I’m just saying you really should call Triple H. You could make a very, very good living there. Work wherever you want, go wherever you want. I just have a feeling if you call him, things are going to be good for you.’ And I’m like, ‘What do you mean, just call Triple H? What do you mean?’ And he’s like, ‘No, just call him. I’m giving you his number. Call him.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ well, now I can’t not call him. So, I sent Triple H a text. He calls me back and says, ‘Is this really Killer Kross? I don’t know, you could be some prank caller or something.’ So, we talked, and a few months later, I was in NXT. That’s how everything started to align. I was getting messages from every direction in the universe telling me to go to WWE.”
