Few fans enjoyed Karrion Kross' debut on WWE Raw.

The reigning NXT Champ, who will defend against Samoa Joe at TakeOver 36, lost to Jeff Hardy in just two minutes on the red brand's 19 July episode. Twitter panned this decision, and there was more uproar when rumours started flying that Kross would've lost to Hardy again the following week had Jeff not been pulled for COVID.

Posting on Instagram though, Kross revealed that he had a great time appearing on Raw. In fact, Karrion described it as "pretty awesome", and added that getting to perform in front of fans for the first time in 12 months was a real thrill.

Kross also celebrated his 36th birthday on 19 July, and he reckons working with a legend like Hardy on the same day was a cool present. That's very different to how 99.9% of wrestling fans viewed the debut, but it's ace that Karrion is so positive about things.

This just goes to show that there's a unique perspective to WWE that people don't see - Kross told Scarlett that he was thrilled to appear on Raw.
