10 New Directions For WWE After The 2024 Draft
8. A Karrion Kross Push?
Personal wishlist time.
Karrion Kross has flown under the radar as a bit of a hidden secret for too long now. His NXT work, whilst hardly on par in-ring with star-rating busters Adam Cole, Tommaso Ciampa and the like, was better than most give it credit for. Then, Vince McMahon called Karrion up to Raw and ruined everything that was killer about his gimmick.
Triple H handed Kross a second chance in 2022, but WWE has never put their chips behind Karrion for very long. The Final Testament moving to Mondays in the Draft gives him and pals a chance to stamp their mark on the product. Hopefully, all going well, it lets Karrion himself continue delivering some overlooked-but-excellent promos like he's this generation's Raven.
Kross only needs one epic storyline to turn him into a big deal. That's a hill this writer is prepared to die on all day long. Feuding vs. Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Title, for example, would be a great fit for Karrion. AOP can do their own thing as monsters in the tag ranks.
