As noted before, Karrion Kross made a surprise appearance during WWE’s WrestleMania Recap post-show following this past April’s WrestleMania 41 Night 2 show in Las Vegas, Nevada. During his surprise appearance, Kross vented about being left off the card for the show in favor of Logan Paul getting a match with AJ Styles instead of him.
A recent episode of The Ariel Helwani Show featured Kross as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Kross clarifying his comments and stated he is not disgruntled but just him being very hungry for his career in WWE.
“The biggest misconception anyone can take from what I said on WrestleMania was that I’m disgruntled. I’m not. I’m just really, really, really hungry, man. I’m really hungry. All of this is coming from a place of passion. It’s all about the grand scheme of things. People are paying to come watch the greatest show in the world. I want to be a reason on the show where they felt like they got every single cent worth of that. I want to be more than just an Easter egg.”
Kross also gave his thoughts about if he feels people have misconstrued his comments.
“It’s not complaining. It’s using your voice. Speaking up and saying, ‘I’m here. I want to be here. I want to give you the best of what I have.”
Kross also gave his thoughts about how he has noticed a change in how fans are responding to him in WWE over the past year.
“Over the last, I don’t know, 365 days backwards from today, the interactions that I’m having with people that the audience doesn’t see on TV, they’re really different than the way they used to be.
(Fans) were always talking about NXT, what I did in NXT. They wish we could go back to that. It’s a difficult conversation to have with people.
But now the conversations have changed, ‘I love what you’re currently doing and we want to see more and more and more.'”
