Karrion Kross: I Wouldn’t Change How Anything Played Out Because It Led Me To Having A Unique And Strong Relationship With The Audience
Karrion Kross has become one of the most popular superstars in WWE in 2025, garnering strong reactions even when he hasn’t been featured regularly on television.
Kross has become a more prominent player on television in recent months with his work against Sami Zayn.
Speaking on Rock 105.3, Kross reflected on his journey to this point.
“I wouldn’t change any of the way it played out because it’s actually led me to have a very unique and strong relationship with the audience. I’m just going to state the obvious here, and it’s kind of the elephant in the room. When an entertainment corporation tries to shove anybody down the audience’s throat, whether its wrestling, music, movies, TV, you can feel it. I have not been somebody that they’ve done that with. I think that oftentimes, having an organic relationship with the audience and that connection comes with being a person who the audience can see if persevering against a lot of different invisible hands, so to speak. So, I wouldn’t change any of it. It hasn’t been perfect, it’s been very challenging, and it’s actually led to here. This isn’t something you can re-create with anybody. I have something special with the crowd and I feel so honored and privileged to have that. It’s a real thing. It’s even going on when people aren’t even seeing it. Everywhere I’m going, I have people coming up to me and telling me their stories and telling me they’ve been fans for years. Everyone has a story of where they were and what was going on when they saw me doing something. It hasn’t always been that way. That feels really amazing,” he said.
Karrion Kross is set to take on Sami Zayn at WWE SummerSlam.
