DDP Says Karrion Kross Is Ready for WWE Main Event Spotlight – WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page sees serious main event potential in Karrion Kross—if WWE gives him the right opportunity. Speaking in a recent interview with CasinoBeats.com, DDP praised Kross as a complete package who simply needs the company to let him be himself.
“Opportunity. The damn opportunity and just let him be himself because the cat’s real, you know, and he can work his ass off,” Page said. “It’s not like he’s some big guy who doesn’t know how to kick and doesn’t know how to throw a punch or doesn’t know how to work. He just does all of it at its highest level.”
Kross has experienced renewed fan interest recently, thanks in part to a post-WrestleMania promo that many saw as a passionate and unscripted critique of how WWE has used him. The promo helped elevate Kross’s status among fans, drawing comparisons to the path LA Knight took to reach his current popularity.
Page echoed that comparison in the interview, highlighting how both men have been grinding in the industry for decades and now deserve the spotlight.
“That interview that he did that lit s**t up and I’m hoping something comes out of that for him. It was like LA Knight. Same thing. Both of those guys, they’re 20 years in each. They’ve been doing this a long time and it’s easy to build some strong promos.”
The three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion also referenced his own career, noting how he helped elevate talent like Chris Benoit and Raven by working with them during his rise in WCW.
“If you go back and look at me when I wanted to work with Benoit and Raven, and the reason why I wanted to work with both those guys was to bring them up because man, both of those cats were great. You’ll see me in the crowd cutting a promo. They say, I’d never be a top guy. They said I’d never be a main eventer. They were wrong.”
With growing fan support and high-profile backing from a respected veteran like Page, Karrion Kross may be inching closer to the main event spotlight he has long been chasing.
