Karrion Kross Responds To Report That His WWE Main Roster Push Was Limited Due To His Inability To Take Back Bumps
WWE Superstar Karrion Kross has responded to a recent report by Pro Wrestling Torch‘s Wade Keller, which alleged that Kross’ push on the main roster may have been hindered due to concerns over his willingness or ability to take flat back bumps.
Speaking with The National, Kross addressed the rumor directly, calling it one of the “weakest” fabrications he’s come across in the constant swirl of online speculation.
“I thought out of all the crazy articles that are fabricated about me every week, that was the weakest,” Kross said. “There was another wild one I saw last week that was even funnier. It said something like, ‘Karrion Kross is going to come to Monday Night Raw and he’s going to quit and do a shoot promo live, and then walk out.’ I thought that was a good one. But I don’t really respond to any of them. There’s a crazy one about me every week or two. You just kind of have to laugh.”
Keller’s original comments sparked chatter among fans and pundits alike, with some questioning whether Kross’ physical style or preferences in the ring might be limiting his opportunities on the main roster. However, Kross’ comments suggest he sees such reports as baseless noise rather than legitimate insight.
Kross, a former NXT Champion, has had an up-and-down run since being called up to WWE’s main roster. While some fans have pointed to creative inconsistencies, the notion that he’s somehow averse to taking basic bumps was met with skepticism by many in the wrestling community, and the report was also shot down by Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp.
Despite the noise, Kross appears focused on staying the course. His remarks reflect a self-awareness about the unpredictable nature of wrestling media, and a desire to let his work speak louder than the rumors.
