Karrion Kross Feels WWE Didn’t Take Contract Talks Seriously

WWE and Karrion Kross couldn’t come to a new deal, and there is a reason for that.

During a new video on his YouTube Channel, Karrion Kross confirmed that he tried to start contract talks with WWE back in January, but that obviously didn’t go anywhere. He also wanted to make it very clear that he has no interest in wrestling anywhere else.

The former NXT Champion went on to admit that any conversation he had with WWE about his contract didn’t seem legit. He walked away with the impression that the people he was talking about from TKO and WWE’s side didn’t seem to take it too seriously.

“I expressed my willingness to negotiate with WWE in early January. I didn’t, you know it’s preposterous to think that I’d want to go anywhere else. Nothing against anywhere else, but I’m fully committed, I’m here. There isn’t a world that exists where I haven’t made that entirely clear. Maybe that’s the nature of people where they think, like, you know if all things aren’t working out they’ll go somewhere else — I really am not like that. I’ll bang my head against the pavement until, you know the sidewalk breaks, and we get to the basement.”

“That’s just the way I am. It’s frustrating because you express your interest in doing things, and then you go to bed, and they made it clear so many, many months have gone by, and I’ve never had a single conversation about it until recently, and I don’t even feel like the conversation I had recently was an actual serious one, but I … the conversation made me really angry, because I didn’t think it was a real conversation. Someone contacted me and we had briefly discussed it. It was a very short conversation, and there wasn’t anything discussed of real substance, and that really, really, really … actually, it didn’t make me angry or upset, it just profoundly disappointed me.”

Kross made it clear that everyone in the WWE locker room sacrifices themselves, and some of them are no longer around because of what they subjected their bodies to. In the end, there is a toll that everyone pays to be in the ring, but WWE didn’t seem interested in keeping them.

Karrion Kross’ time in WWE may have come to an end, but he is still respected by many of his peers. He also claimed that some Superstars who are far more successful than he is came to him for his opinion on their promo work.

We will keep a close eye on Karrion Kross, even if he goes back to Killer Kross, because he has a lot of gas left in the tank. At this point, he could spark a fan outcry to get his job back with WWE. Only time will tell what he will do next in his career.
