Karrion Kross Tells WWE: "Go F**k Yourself" (WWE News)
Karrion Kross did NOT hold back with his thoughts on WWE.
Speaking during WWE's official WrestleMania 41 Recap show, Karrion Kross did not mince his words when it comes to his feelings about this year's 'Mania and his current positioning with the company.
In character but featuring several nuggets of truth, Kross first lambasted how he's spent 11 years missing funerals and missing holidays to get to WWE, when he instead could've started a YouTube channel, ala Logan Paul, and been handed the chance to wrestle AJ Styles at a WrestleMania.
The former NXT Champion would explain how he once asked Bill Goldberg for one key piece of advice, to which Da Man said to always be a good soldier. For Kross, he explained how being a good soldier led to his WWE release, led to his TV time getting cut, led to his creative ideas being used for other people, and led to him being left off shows in his hometown.
Karrion pointed out the negative reaction from the crowd when he was eliminated from the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on Friday's SmackDown, and also said how a notable amount of fans were clamouring for Kross to be Randy Orton's mystery WrestleMania opponent. He did actually have praise for Joe Hendry getting a WrestleMania Moment, but added how it's all about viral moments nowadays. And while he's long been told you need to make yourself undeniable, Kross said he's managed to make himself undeniable, but still ends up ignored. As he put it, "undeniable, my a**".
Rounding out an excellent, extremely heated promo, Karrion Kross then seemingly turned his attention to Triple H - or, as he put it, "the guy in the suit and tie in the truck" - who he told to "go f**k yourself", with regards from Killer Kross.

Opinion: Killer Kross?
While the real-life Kevin Robert Kesar has long been known to WWE fans as Karrion Kross during his time with the company, Kross was better known as Killer Kross prior to joining the market leader.
Purely spitballing here, but could we be about to see Kross rebranded from Karrion to Killer in WWE? This WrestleMania Recap appearance could well be the first time Killer Kross has been mentioned on an official WWE broadcast, and Kross was introduced as Killer Kross during his appearance for Bloodsport over the weekend, plus when he faced Hammerstone at FSW's Chris Bey Benefit.
Interestingly, Kross' latest shirt on WWE Shop doesn't have Karrion on it. Nor Killer, for that matter, mind.
Either way, Karrion Kross has been absolutely making the most of his minutes lately as he tries to make himself stand out from the pack, be that on WWE programming or, even more so, on social media. Seriously, if you've not been keeping up with Kross on X, go and give him a follow. While he may only be given the odd minute or two here and there on Raw - bar his match with AJ Styles last week - Doomsday has been going the extra mile on social media, brilliantly showcasing his immense charisma and sheer entertainment value.
Given how things went on Raw last night, it looks like there's still a little more to come from Karrion Kross and AJ Styles, and that's nothing but a good thing. Kross deserves an opportunity at more TV time and a greater role in the company. Should he get an opportunity and fumble it, that's fair enough, but he's had to live off scraps for so long and has slowly but surely been turning those scraps into small moments of gold.
As alluded to, the fan reaction to Kross has started to turn in recent months, with those fans clearly wanting to see more of what Karrion has been bringing to the table - be that on TV or off his own back on social media.
