Killer Kross Comments on Budget Being Reason for Differences Between NXT and Main Roster

Fightful held a recent interview with Killer Kross, former Karrion Kross in WWE. One of the topics discussed included Kross’ thoughts about WWE’s budget being a huge factor for the differences between their NXT and main roster RAW and SmackDown brands.

“Some of the things that don’t necessarily occur to a casual fan or even a diehard fan that follow everything, meaning everything that’s produced that’s available on YouTube or on social apps and stuff like that—budget is drastically different on NXT versus main roster. Now, what does that mean? Well, that means that if there is a higher budget allotted to main roster than there’s a higher expected return on investment. So how people are going to be compensated and how that return is going to be managed is going to dictate the show format, which is why NXT looks so much more different than main roster. That’s the most simple way I can put it. I could turn this into a two hour thing. We don’t have two hours. But this is why sometimes the way people land on NXT, with the audience don’t land the same way on main roster because there’s all different types of logistics that are taking place behind closed doors that they just don’t talk about. So when people wonder, ‘This character was this and now it’s this when they go up there, what happened?’ There’s a lot more to it than people think and he has to manage that.”

CM Punk Responds to Kevin Nash Criticisms of Him Wrestling in Shirt as World Champion at 12/30 WWE House Show Event

In a recent episode of the Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash gave his criticisms of CM Punk’s in-ring work on the December 22, 2025 episode of WWE RAW and his issues with Punk wrestling while wearing a shirt despite him being the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

“I watched Punk in the main event of that match last Monday. Number one: if you’re the Heavyweight Champion of the WWE and you wrestle in a T-shirt — ouch. Number two: his punches looked really slow. He looked slow. I think it’s time for him, I think he’s done. I think Bron should beat him.”

WWE held a Holiday Tour house show event on Tuesday, December 30th in Fort Myers, Florida which featured Punk defending his WWE World Heavyweight title against Bron Breakker. Prior to the start of the match, Punk removed the shirt he was wearing revealing a second shirt underneath it in a trolling response to Nash’s recent comments about him.
