Rumor Killer on Karrion Kross Facing Backstage Trouble – A circulating rumor regarding Karrion Kross and his in-ring performance has been shut down by multiple backstage sources. Despite recent speculation that the former NXT Champion refuses to take bumps—an accusation that could suggest friction with WWE officials—Fightful Select has confirmed that this is completely false.
According to the report, WWE producers who have worked directly with Kross stated that he has never shown any hesitation or resistance when it comes to taking bumps during matches.
“Regarding the online discussion of Karrion Kross not bumping that picked up steam, Fightful spoke to multiple people who produced matches of his and they claimed that has never been an issue they’ve encountered,” the report noted.
The rumor gained traction online as fans questioned why Kross, who has seen a renewed surge of popularity since WrestleMania 41, has not been more prominently featured on WWE programming. A passionate post-WrestleMania promo helped Kross gain momentum with audiences, fueling speculation about his future.
The Fightful report makes clear that there is no backstage heat related to his in-ring efforts, dismissing the theory that he’s avoiding physical risk or compromising match quality.
Importantly, this situation highlights the need for fans to avoid untrustworthy sources, especially when rumors originate from unverified social media accounts. Misinformation can quickly spread and damage reputations without basis, as was the case here.
Kross is currently scheduled to appear at this weekend’s Night of Champions premium live event, where he’ll face Sami Zayn in his first major match since WrestleMania 40. With rumors now dispelled, all eyes are on whether WWE follows through with a push that aligns with Kross’s rising fan support.
