10 Most Shocking WWE Transformations Since 2020
9. Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross must've hated his first stab at Raw in 2021.
It was miserable, and involved Kross dressing up like a knock-off mix between Shredder from TMNT and Demolition. If that sounds cool in theory, then just know that...it wasn't. Karrion had been a top star on NXT, but then Vince McMahon got his creative mitts on the guy and ruined all that potential.
Karrion's career has been all about recovery ever since. Thankfully, there are signs that he'll get back to his best and make something of this second go-around on the flagship. Triple H certainly seems to get Kross more than his father-in-law did. The shaven-headed Killer Kross look is gone too - it's been replaced by long hair and an almost Sean O'Haire circa 2003 aesthetic.
What a journey Karrion has been on since 2020. He's been NXT Champ several times, a laughing stock on the main roster, released, brought back, on/off pushed again and a stable leader. Finding his groove on the midcard is working out too.
