He specifically addressed fan requests regarding his persona: “…just know that I know what you want to see out of me, and I’m trying to work to a place where I can give that to you. All the things you’re talking about. Evil Father Kross with the face paint. Killer Kross, which I get a lot. You guys want to see that resurgence of everything that I did on NXT.”

I’m always trying to find the best common ground between what they want and what you want,” he explained. He stressed that his primary focus on television is entertaining the audience: “I literally don’t do anything for myself on TV at all.
