WWE no longer cares about Karrion Kross, nor do they have big plans for him, according to ‘Dirty’ Dutch Mantel.
Kross was one of the first WWE Superstars rehired by Triple H last year and at the time of his return, expectations were high for the two-time former NXT Champion.
Despite rumors of a World Championship push, Kross has been in a series of feuds that many fans have found directionless.
Speaking on the “Smack Talk” podcast, Mantel shared his view that WWE isn’t interested in pushing Kross as a potential main eventer. He said,
“They don’t expect anything big out of Karrion Kross and AJ because they tried Karrion Kross. I don’t know what it is. Let’s compare LA Knight with Karrion Kross. One guy has it, and Karrion Kross doesn’t. I don’t care what they do with him. I don’t care. LA Knight’s a hell of a promo. But Kross, he’s got ‘Tick Tock.’ That’s bu***. If I had to rely on Tick Tock as a gimmick, save you money, Mr. Kross.”
Kross has been feuding in recent weeks with AJ Styles and lost to the Phenomenal One on the July 7, episode of SmackDown.
