Karrion Kross Reveals His PERFECT WWE Opponent: CM Punk‼️ | Busted Open

[@johnshort5830]

Kross has absolutely won me over in the last few months. They are finally letting him cook a little, and his personality is really coming out. I really hope he continues to rise.

[@DSmicklas]

Same. I was not interested in Final Testament until recently. Kross is genuinely intimidating-looking in a company full of intimidating people. Glad to see them getting the Miz bump push right now

[@MrRudyc85]

I wish his matches were more to offer

[@ericanders2819]

Months ago I was NOT a fan of Kross. Until I saw how much creativity and hard work he puts into his character and completely won me over. PUSH THIS MAN WWE!

[@Mrwonderful0212]

Gotta get the crowd into him and understand his deal. That’s the problem. His shit is just not clicking with the masses right now. You can push him, but if the masses don’t understand him and are having trouble getting into him, it’s not gonna work. Back to the drawing board

[@ericanders2819]

@ yeah there’s a disconnect no doubt. Otherwise he would’ve been pushed by now. I think the program with the Miz and Wyatts was his best work in a while.

[@JesseHouck-p5x]

My dream faction in NXT (before judgement day or house of black existed) consisted on Karrion, Aliester & Ciampa

[@ericanders2819]

@@JesseHouck-p5xthat would’ve been wild

[@liontamer8961]

@@JesseHouck-p5xmate what a fucking group! That would have been class

[@ZTK06]

Punk vs Kross would be a good feud with the potential of greatness. Kross deserves to be a big part of a WWE show.

[@gayan1991]

Absolutely...

[@andrewatuahene3234]

Facts that would be a great feud and it will definitely put Karrion in that main event level

[@Robby_C]

He def shouldn't have said anything.

[@RyanJSmith]

Karrion has very quickly become one of my top 5. Such a genuine man who has such a rich understanding of character and the business. I wasn't really watching NXT during his time, but even then he stood out to me. I hope they give him more to do, he's more than proved himself, and as seen in his Miz story he's only getting better

[@samcarter565]

Kross reminds me a lot of Raven. He’s hugely creative and his character work is next level. I just wish everybody saw it the way I do.

[@SebastianHey-nx4pf]

I Always wished for years He working with bray Wyatt would be amazing.

[@chaoticoldbore]

I see what you see. It didn't take me long to pick up what he was putting down.

[@ManavShaunkey]

No but he actually like cm punk 1st stable version.

[@DWtechfan]

That's a very good comparison. Raven was a great performer who knew how to use mind games and psychology to his advantage. Kross is exactly like that too but WWE hasn't even begun to let him lean into that aspect of his character. Kross should be what Sean O'Haire was going to be in that "I'm not telling you anything you don't already know" devil character. Imagine Kross doing that! He already has that look and the suit.

[@lovelywaz]

Fun interview, thanks for this! 👌👌 Also, when it comes to Karrion Kross.... Slow and steady not only wins the race but lasts longer 🙌🙌

[@etherealtide]

Ngl, as soon Karrion said he’d want Metallica for his entrance I rolled my eyes but he hit the “my friend of misery” I was back, what a song

[@youngpimpinking]

He should do Pantera 10s

[@Hooiser2142]

He's quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

[@Matt-e3g]

Love that bully immediately wanted to know why karrion wasn't doing well mentally, good man

[@nicksparta9580]

what happened

[@J-389-S]

Karrion Kross is that one dude who hasnt been a champion yet and should of already been one. HIGHLY underrated. Keep on grinding bro, you will get yours. !!

[@FranklinDBluth]

Karrion is the one I really can’t wait to see in the Main Event scene

[@suplexorcist316]

Huge fan of this dude! His talent and potential is through the roof. Great interview.

[@TheOrangutan01]

Ring intelligence. That is Kross’ biggest strength. He’s a natural in terms of storytelling, he doesn’t get enough credit or respect. One of the best in the business 🤝

[@bswizzle93]

Karrion has been doing phenomenal work on the mic and even in the ring, Don't sleep on this guy. Plus Karrion and Punk would be epic, Imagine the promo battles these two could have...Take my money

[@ghostofyou6468]

kross vs cm punk feud will be a fresh of air

[@bluebutterfly4296]

Punk vs Damien too Punk vs Dom Punk vs Finn Punk vs Braun Strownen

[@tonybayarea]

I think Karrion Kross could get as Big as Bray Wyatt was with WWE Fans/WWE Universe. If WWE makes Karrion's character more relatable to fans watching him. People loved Bray Wyatt so much because not only was he a hellava wrestler but the stories WWE told with his character captivated the entire audience in attendance and on television watching that day. Karrion could have that same presence if WWE does it rite and makes his character more relatable. Like what is the back story of the Karrion Kross character. WWE Fans want to know that. Would also like to see a Kross Vs Orton match sometime in 2025 or 2026 as well.

[@nilesrodriguez4343]

Reslly wish we could have seen Kross and Bray together more. Rest in peace.

[@joeramsay1393]

Kross is such a likeable dude, I hope he's allowed to show the different sides of his personality, mainstream audiences would love him, he could be a huge star.

[@juanitadale1722]

I honestly believe a punk vs Kross story has the potential of greatness don’t sleep people that’s all I’m gonna say

[@RE3FBUCKS18]

I got the chance to watch Karrion “Killer” Kross at an independent show with my family here in Danbury CT. Incredible show with the Hardy’s, Malaki Black, Scarlett and Jay Lethal. Kross gave my kids a fist bump after his match while still in character and my kids went Crazy!!! “Daddy, Killer Kross bumped my fist 🤜🏿 🤛🏿 “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you for that, you made my kids night that night.

[@tegarlagajoebhaar8936]

Karrion Kross speaks well. He has that pro wrestling mind. Despite being in a midcard position at best back then, he is someone who can go places. His promo skills and even his creativity lately is something to behold. If he was good then, he has gotten much better than we would expect right now.

[@NoSnowFlakes1]

He was a monster NXT Champ and if Vince didnt ruin his call up he would have been in Main Event picture plenty

[@allenshadrick22]

He just made the wyatts look like trash, lol. I look forward to seeing what's next for him.

[@JuliusC1973]

He was a huge in Total Non Stop Acton Wrestling. He was huge in NXT and beat Keith Lee for The NXT Championship. He just has not been given the opportunity to showcase his skills? I think he needs to do like Bronson Reid and create his own opening that The WWE Fan Base latches onto? I'm not sure what that is, but we saw Bronson Reid do that.

[@allenshadrick22]

@JuliusC1973 I get what you're saying, but you do realize Bronson Reed was doing what creative wrote for him to do? He didn't start attacking rollins on his own. It was part of the script.

[@tegarlagajoebhaar8936]

@ He was actually a bigger star in Lucha Underground and AAA, as he was a member of the latter company’s biggest stable, Los Ingobernables. In TNA he was good. But back then, management was shit, unlike TNA right now. So that’s why he could only showcase so much there. His early years in WWE was when he was a monster. Now he needs to develop his story as part of The Final Testament. With his stellar promo skills, he needs to add good matches and add new moves to his arsenal.

[@SpeedShifter75]

Thanks for reminding us that Karrion Kross was in WM40. Seems like such a great guy in interviews. Would like to see a little more of this guy on the stage.

[@metashadow3924]

Lets go Papa H, get this man more screen time!

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

Kross seems like such a chill and humble dude. You like to see people like that succeed , hope he gets more opportunities to continuing showing a different side to his “evil monster with the Hot witch” persona.

[@MauriceSwift]

karrion vs cm punk at wrestlemania would be gold i want to see it both can talk and wrestle

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

Imagine Rollins walking backstage looking dejected and Kross walks up and plants the seeds he planted on Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston? I cannot wait to see something like that.

[@ericendo7937]

I'm such a huge fan of Karrion Kross! Kx2

[@shanebagin]

Now I have to apologize to Bully about my comment below. Dave is the real music snob. I love this show because of the opinions.

[@JT_801]

I literally post this in every Karrion Kross interview. This dude is awesome and he needs to start incorporating his personality into his character. WWE needs to give him better stories.

[@contrary]

Oh? He makes his minutes count. Did you see raw when he tangled w Sami zayn and miz in front of adam pierce office. He needs to stay out the main event scene right now and keep building. He's in a great spot right now

[@FranklinDBluth]

The work he’s done lately has been great, he just needs more tv time.

[@JT_801]

@@FranklinDBluth I was excited for it, but with the Wyatt Six leaving for smackdown the story has fizzled out before we got any good payoffs.

[@SilverrulezGaming]

He is starting to incorporate himself more. What do the brain rot kids say now? Let him cook?

[@rgbAyr]

Bro has A+ wrestling IQ. Did not like him in NXT but he has won me over, an amazing wrestling mind

[@SteveBatchelor-h4i]

Name anyone else on the WWE roster who has worked so few TV matches lately, but has made themselves so relevant via their in-show and off-show appearances. This Dude means more than working

[@paddyboycooper8858]

metallica never said they wouldn't do videos james actually has said that mtv told them no they ddin't want them on in the 80s. they wanted to make a video and the reason they made ONE was because the fans wanted it and then it became a massive hit for mtv

[@suxarchives]

Remember Kross is just in mid card but when he will feud with Punk, he will sky rocket superstar. Punk is the biggest name in business.

[@shaunbei]

He can be the reason punk turns heel

Someone make it official Punk vs Karrion

Been seeing Kross doing the rounds recently on the podcast circuit, very likable guy and I'm liking this "devil on your shoulder" character he's playing on TV too.

[@Madferit91]

Honestly a feud with Punk would cook so hard. But at the moment Kross isn't at that status yest to face Punk. But if he keeps on working and keeps improving maybe some day we could see it.

[@FollyDatTv]

him and the Hardy's need one of those deletion movies with Cm Punk included 😂

[@crossface07]

Kross respects the old school thought process. He seems like he’ll be a HHH wingman backstage in a few years. Man, if the WWE has guys like Punk, Cody, and Kross leading the future, then we’re in good hands.

[@indiesongwriter5474]

Kross has a great creative mind for the business, a really smart worker, and I still think he's going to continue to build and eventually be a main event guy like Drew McIntyre

[@SilverrulezGaming]

Love Kross. Never thought id say that. If you told me that when he originally debuted on the main roster i would of laughed for several years straight. Having the right boss give you the ability to find your niche, chefs kiss.

[@MorbiusOfArabia]

Karrion Kross is one Good Story away from becoming a real main eventer. Hes a Full Package. Looks, Promo Skills, Phsique, Good theme. Hes a Dark Horse ready to Breakthrough.

[@gayan1991]

I think Dave is absolutely right. Putting it in the universe actually register in punk's fans mind that this guy is out there... but I get Bully's point too..... I hope Karrion Kross move away from the group and go alone.. Then, go after Punk in the same way as Punk in 2011... Dave now it is your turn to elevate this.
