During a recent interview with NBC Sports, Killer Kross looked back on his time in WWE NXT as Karrion Kross.
The interview would see Kross comment on his feud with Adam Cole, revealing Cole’s iconic promo against Kross was fully scripted.
On Cole’s ‘You can’t hang with me’ promo: “That was scripted, and he was told to say that, so it wasn’t him like having a meltdown and taking a dig. It seemed really counterproductive to have a fourth wall promo where only one guy was breaking the fourth wall … The way I saw it at the time was like, ‘He’s gonna be doing the job for me at the end of the month on the pay-per-view,’ and everyone else has exchanged equity with me, their own equity, in putting me over for a year and half. The construction of that promo did not make any sense at all, and I thought it was weird that they wanted to go in that direction. The time and energy they’re putting into this character presentation, they kind of shot in the head, which I thought was just so unusual.”
On trying to ensure the angle was protected: “It’s a weird Twilight Zone type thing. Until that angle was totally dead and gone, I wanted to protect the legitimacy of that, even though it was kind of working against me … It got very toxic, very negative, and very weird, and that’s social media for you.”
