Karrion Kross on “Guy With The Suit-And Tie In The Truck, Go F*ck Yourself!” Over Not Being Booked for Match at WWE WrestleMania 41

Apr 21, 2025

Sunday’s WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 event in Las Vegas, Nevada featured Karrion Kross making an appearance and interfering during AJ Styles match against Logan Paul.

Following the show, Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux made a surprise appearance during WWE’s WrestleMania Recap post-show. One of the topics discussed included Kross’ thoughts about Paul’s victory over Styles and him not being booked for WrestleMania 41.

“Let’s talk about how awesome it is that Logan Paul just won. Let’s talk about it, Sam. Let’s talk about what Logan Paul represents. The shortcut. Feels so good to be here. Feels so good to be in the business, thinking about all of the funerals that I wasn’t able to attend for the last eleven years in this business, all the holidays I missed. I could have just started a YouTube channel. Could have just jumped in there with AJ Styles. Feels really good, right? It’s awesome. It’s really good.”

In response to Scarlett’s comments about them not being booked for WrestleMania 41, Kross stated:

“They know because they’re normal human beings, but and they actually love professional wrestling, but apparently this doesn’t mean shit anymore. That doesn’t mean shit.
All I asked Allen to do was, for once, to not think about just himself. Think about everybody in the back, and think about the professional wrestling fans. That’s all I wanted him to do.Sometimes, to do the right thing, you have to do the wrong thing, but he’s a narcissist, and he had to do it his way. Hey, Allen, how many more WrestleManias do you have in your system? Probably, I don’t know, one? Maybe it’s just this last one, and you just pissed that away. For what!? For your way. Thanks a lot, bud. I really appreciate it. “

Kross also gave his thoughts about the advice given to him by WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldber in 2021 and how that advice of “be a good solider” did not work out for him for his first main roster run in WWE.

“You want to know what the best advice I ever got it was. It was from Bill Goldberg in 2021, back when I was in The Twilight Zone. You know what I mean? [muffled voice] ‘I’m wrestling for gasoline.’ It was awesome. Let me tell you all about it.
Bill goes, ‘Hey Kross. You know what? You remind me a lot of me.’ I go, ‘I think we have different styles, Bill, but I really appreciate that. Do you have any advice for me?’ He goes, ‘You know what? You just gotta be a good soldier.’ A good soldier, is what he said. So I decided to be a good soldier. You know what happened? They released me, and then I come back. You know what being a good soldier gets everybody here? In case you’re wondering, and you want the back scoop here, being a good soldier gets your time cut. Being a good soldier means that people come up to you and say, ‘Hey, you got any great ideas?’ Yeah, here it is from Scarlett.’ ‘No, no, that’s a little too great. We’re looking just for good ideas. That’s for those guys over there.’ That’s what being a good soldier is, okay?!
Being a good soldier is coming to your hometown, where you cut your teeth, where you got started, and not being on the card. It’s all about viral moments. Now that’s what it’s all about, viral moments. Well, guy, everybody’s been telling me that I’ve got to become undeniable, and as soon as it happens, they ignore it and shut it down. I never asked to wrestle Randy. I never asked. That happened organically, and you ignored it for a viral moment. Good on Joe [Hendry]. Nothing against him, but you ignored it, and the crowd told you exactly how they felt about me on SmackDown when I was eliminated [from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on WrestleMania SmackDown], and you ignored it. ‘Become undeniable.’ My ass! You want a viral moment? On behalf of all of the true fans of professional wrestling: Guy with the suit and tie in the truck, go fuck yourself. That’s from Killer Kross.”

Kross also gave his thoughts about his current expiring contract status with WWE being recently leaked online.
