Karrion Kross Open to Reviving “Killer Kross” Persona in WWE – Before becoming the methodical and calculating Karrion Kross in WWE, he made his name as the fearsome “Killer Kross” on the independent scene and in promotions such as IMPACT Wrestling and MLW. This version of his character was known for its raw brutality and mercenary-like aggression, a far cry from the more psychological and theatrical approach he currently portrays in WWE. While flashes of that intense style have appeared on the main roster, the character has largely been a more restrained interpretation.
In a recent appearance on The Angle Podcast, Kross addressed the possibility of reintroducing the “Killer Kross” persona to WWE audiences. His answer left little doubt about his interest. “If that’s what people wanted, I would 100% do it,” he stated, making it clear he would embrace the change if both fans and the company supported it.
Kross’s tenure in NXT offered a glimpse of this more dominant style, as he enjoyed a dominant run as champion that mirrored aspects of his “Killer” days. His passion for that aggressive approach remains strong, telling the podcast, “If they wanted me to turn the volume up and give them Killer Kross and the company would let me, I would do it in a heartbeat.”
These remarks come amid reports that Kross’s WWE contract status is uncertain. Whether he stays with WWE or moves elsewhere, his openness to revisiting his most dangerous persona suggests a potential major shift in his character. For long-time fans, the return of “Killer Kross” could mark a thrilling revival of the intensity that first put him on the map.
