Killer Kross Opens Up Winning MLW World Heavyweight Championship, Presenting Belt To His Mother

It was a special moment for Kross.

Emerging victorious from Major League Wrestling’s 40-man Battle Riot match was Killer Kross. With the victory, Kross became the new MLW World Heavyweight Champion.

Post-match, Kross got to present his mother with the title while she was seated ringside. Kross spoke to TV Insider about the title win and the moment with his mother.

“To this day, I‘ve had a lot of meaningful performances. That one is by far my favorite specifically for that reason. I feel like everything that has happened in my life in the last year, all the things I said yes to and no to, all the miles I flew, all the training, dieting, you name it. Every single thing that has happened, it took me to that moment where I had an opportunity to create something. Not just for myself, but my family and everybody there. With it being recorded and posted live for everyone to enjoy it forever, believe me when I tell you I’m very fulfilled, especially with my wife and my mother being a part of all that. I have a moment given to me that I can create for people to make something for her. I don’t know what son on the planet wouldn’t want to do that. I’m very grateful for it all.”

Kross and Scarlett wrapped up with WWE in August 2025 following their respective contracts expiring. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp conducted an interview with Kross, which can be watched below:
