During a recent interview with The Sun, WWE Superstar Karrion Kross commented on his return to WWE, whether Vince McMahon’s exit helped his return, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his return to WWE: “Well, I stayed in touch with everybody even after I left. So I stayed in touch with the boys and a few people in management. The last three months before I was released they were a little weird but I didn’t let that spoil my entire experience in the company. I had a really good experience with WWE. And the experience working there was life-changing in all the best ways. So every once in a while we would check in on Hunter and see how he’s doing, just personal stuff – we never talked about work – and he would check in on us.
“One day he was wondering if we were around for a call. And then I think it was the week that you guys saw me on TV. I jumped on a call with Hunter and he proposed the concept of coming back. He said, ‘Would you guys like to come home?’ And we were like, ‘Of course we would’. And then you guys saw us two days later, we were on TV. We’ve always had a good relationship with everyone. We loved our experience there. That bridge was never ever burned or damaged or anything like that. It was just a series of unfortunate events that led to where we’re at and we came full circle.”
On if Vince McMahon’s exit helped his return: “Not necessarily, I wasn’t overly fond of the concept they had pitched to me when I was coming up on the main roster the first time. But it wasn’t anything personal. When you sign a contract with WWE this is what it is and I’m very much of the old school belief that whatever I’m given I’m gonna do my absolute best to get that over so it’s enjoyable towards the audience. It wasn’t my idea but that’s okay, we’re given other people’s ideas all the time – that’s part of the job – and we do our best to make it entertaining. While I wasn’t fond of it and it wasn’t my idea that didn’t really matter to me.
“There was no animosity towards anyone at all. It was just something that in the end didn’t work when we did our best to try and make it work. Had we received that call from the previous management, if the call went well we would have considered it because at the end of the day it’s really about being in front of the fans.”
