Kross was asked why he has not been pushed more than he currently is.
Karrion Kross is currently a part of the Monday Night Raw roster alongside his wife Scarlett. They were featured on the 2/17 Raw in an interview segment during which Kross addressed Sami Zayn.
A new sit-down interview with Kross was pushed out by the Geeking Out with Matt Serra podcast and as the interview was ongoing, a co-host inquired about why Kross is not being pushed more than he currently is.
Kross feels he can be ‘that guy’ at WWE and will not stop trying to move up the ladder. He said he’ll try to show that to the powers that be every opportunity he gets.
I don’t know (why pushes aren’t happening as fast as some people think they should) and it’s such a dangerous question to answer… This is what I will say: I don’t envy the position of creative or booking the show because you have this company and it’s worth billions, right? And you have public shareholders and you don’t want to hire anything less than the best of the best. So now you have a whole roster full of people that are incredible. I mean, some people, for lack of better words, they get cast as background, some people get cast as supporting actors and then some people are leads. Now if you pay a lot of money out to the leads, those are gonna be the people you’re really going to run with and the rest of the cast and wrestling kind of supports the leads, right? There are some people that are in the supporting actor background or just background that could be great leads. But you kind of have an obligation. Once you’ve cast certain people as leads in the show, you have to run with them and maybe they’re just… maybe they’re just trying to get the most out of their leads right now. But, I don’t f*cking give up. That’s not my f*cking thing so, I’m gonna stick it out and every single opportunity that I get, I’m gonna show them I could be that guy because I can be and a lot of the audience knows that. In terms of getting the opportunity to demonstrate that, I stay ready for it. Yeah. I train for it, I eat for it. I don’t get complacent whatsoever. Any Monday that comes around, the way I look at it, Monday Night Raw tonight could be that night that changes the direction of your career but you need to be ready for it. You have six days at home. You can’t just be hanging out on the couch. You need to be ready. Things change very quickly, so that’s just kind of just the way I approach it… To directly answer your question, I can’t, I’m not in control. I’m not in control of that process, you know what I mean? But I’m ready for it, and I’d like to think that they know that.
Kross was a part of The Final Testament faction with Scarlett, Akam, Rezar and Paul Ellering. Ellering and A.O.P. were released from their WWE contracts.
