Karrion Kross is finally addressing one of the most polarizing moments in his WWE NXT careerthe Adam Cole promo that many fans believe killed his mystique.
During an interview on 10 Count with Steve Fall, Kross broke down exactly what happened behind the scenes and why the segment still doesnt sit right with him.
Kross confirmed that the brutal promowhere Cole dismissed him as just an entrance, smoke and a girlwas not Coles idea at all.
Even though Kross wasnt personally offended, he couldnt understand why WWE would put together a segment that tore down a character they had invested so heavily in.
According to Kross, Cole even approached him before filming to make sure everything was cool between them.
The real problem, Kross said, wasnt the promo itselfit was that he wasnt allowed to respond in-character or salvage the damage in follow-up promos.
He understood WWE wanted to build Cole up, but questioned why it had to come at the expense of his own credibility.
Kross ended by pointing out the logic gap in breaking down a persona theyd spent months presenting as dominant and mysterious.
The moment never got a proper resolution, and Kross believes it permanently altered how fans viewed his character. While hes moved on, the promo remains one of the most debated character breakdowns in modern WWE history.
