Karrion Kross wants to face Roman Reigns and compares him to one of the most successful world champions in pro wrestling history.
Speaking with The Ringer Wrestling Show after WWE Extreme Rules, where he defeated McIntyre in a Strap Match, Kross was asked to name who he wants to face. In response, he emphasized that he has his sights set on Reigns.
“I feel like everyone should want to be in the ring with Roman Reigns. For me, I hope nobody minds that I’m comparing him but to me, he’s our modern-day Bruno. What he’s doing right now, in my opinion, is historic for our company’s history. This art of storytelling, it’s an amazing thing, and it’s going very, very well. People are having fun, they’re enjoying what they’re watching. It’s something different every week, but like, I could go on and on. That is the guy that I’d want to be in the ring with,”
“Aside from that, I mean, I’m a people pleaser. So whoever people really want to see me in the ring with me personally, that’s the direction I’m going to lean in. I like the big fight feel. I like those freak show fights. Those Superman versus Batman, ‘This shouldn’t happen, we wish it would happen. But there’s no way it can happen.’ Then it does happen and happens in WWE, and that’s why people come to see the show to cultivate that energy in a building. I wake up every day for that, I train for that, I’m aiming for that, you know?”

Kross of course would defeat Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules after Scarlett sprayed pepper spray in “The Scottish Warrior’s” face.
