Karrion Kross Wanted to Bring Back WWE’s Corporate Ministry With a Modern, Cult-Like Twist

Karrion Kross had big plans during his WWE main roster run—and one of them involved resurrecting a legendary Attitude Era faction with a dark, modern spin.

During an interview on 10 Count with Steve Fall, Kross revealed that he pitched a full-blown revival of The Corporate Ministry, hoping to channel conspiracies, cults, and corporate evil into one powerful on-screen stable.

Kross confirmed the concept wasn’t just a fleeting idea—it had support from several WWE writers.

“Yeah, I had ideas about bringing back the Corporate Ministry. That was—that was one of my final ideas that I had. And I had a series of writers on board for that. They thought it was a very good idea.”

The original Corporate Ministry was a chaotic alliance formed in 1999 between The Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness and Vince McMahon’s Corporation. Kross envisioned a new version that played off today’s themes while staying true to its dark roots.

“There’s always these conspiracy theories about esoteric businesses and stuff like that, and cults and like evil companies and stuff like that. I thought there would be a tasteful way to fictionalize that type of stuff and put it back on TV with a nostalgic twist.”

According to Kross, the pitch even got as far as early creative discussions about set pieces and members.

“And I had a bunch of people that I thought would be perfect for it, and they were talking about creating potentially like a podium and some other props and stuff.”

Still, the idea never made it to the top decision-makers. Kross admitted that while there was real momentum behind the idea, it didn’t progress far enough to get the blessing from two names who would’ve been key to its legacy.

“The only people that I had not gotten a blessing from to do it—because we weren’t that far down the road—would be like Taker and Vince, talking about it. Because I think I would have to have—I would, of course, I would want them involved with it. They were like the two evil guys that were from that.”

Looking back, Kross still believes the idea could’ve delivered something memorable and fresh for WWE television.

“So yeah, I thought that would have been cool to revisit a concept like that.”

The Corporate Ministry reboot never saw the light of day, but Kross’ idea shows how deep he was thinking when it came to reinventing his character and tying WWE’s past into its present.
