Karrion Kross Breaks Silence After Night of Champions Loss to Sami Zayn

Karrion Kross has finally spoken out following his loss to Sami Zayn at WWE Night of Champions, and while the internet may be torching Triple H for the booking, Kross is keeping his focus exactly where it belongs.

Taking to Instagram on June 29, 2025, Kross delivered his first public statement since falling short in Saudi Arabia—and made it clear he’s not looking for sympathy.

“Didn’t ask for shortcuts. Didn’t ask for favors. We just showed up—every time—staying ready even when no one was watching. Saudi Arabia, you saw it. You felt it. And that means more than you know.”

Kross didn’t ignore the broader picture either, taking time to thank the fans who continue to stand behind him despite the outcome.

“To the rest of the world watching, with your never ending support; Thank you for reminding us who this is really for.”

While Kross is keeping his response professional, that didn’t stop fans from roasting WWE’s creative direction. Triple H faced heavy criticism on social media after congratulating Zayn for “overcoming adversity,” with many questioning what adversity Zayn even faced.

Regardless of the online noise, Kross made it clear he’s not done. The loss may sting, but the message is simple—he’s still ready, still dangerous, and still watching.
