Killer Kross was one of the top Superstars in NXT, as he eventually won the NXT Championship twice. However, his main roster run only proved to ruin his credibility entirely. Kross also revealed the story behind the infamous Adam Cole promo.

Kross was eventually released by WWE after getting stuck with a gimmick he had absolutely hated portraying. After his WWE departure, Kross eventually made his way back to the independent circuit alongside his wife Scarlett Bordeaux.

During Kross’ feud with Adam Cole, WWE, Cole had claimed that Kross wouldn’t be much without all the bells and whistles that went around his entrance. Cole systematically dismantled Kross thanks to that promo.

While speaking on Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, Killer Kross talked about the story behind Adam Cole’s scathing promo.

”It’s partially our fault because it is the wrestler’s job to make things feel as legitimate as possible.

He admits that he read it and felt that “the promo is unfinished,” which is what he got told when arriving at work. Kross had ideas of what he wanted to say, which “was pretty much the opposite” of what Cole stated to him.
