Kross was briefly featured on the main roster in 2021. Karrion Kross saw a lot of success in NXT, but all of that was useless in the end after he was called up to the main roster. His credibility was non-existent, and Kross was largely mocked. Now that he’s back, there is a different story to tell.##
Kross debuted in July, but after a few inconsistent months, the two-time NXT Champion was released on November 4 in a wave of budget cuts by the company. His time on WWE Raw after her gimmick was dropped, and he was presented without Scarlett Bordeaux, a significant part of his performance in NXT. Kross made a reappearance on the August 5 episode of SmackDown, where he attacked Drew McIntyre, and later faced Reigns.##
On October 8, at WWE Extreme Rules, The Ringer defeated McIntyre in a strap match. Speaking with The Wrestling Show after the show, Cross was asked who he wanted to face. In response, he said that his vision is on Reigns. He compared Reigns to Bruno Sammartino, who holds the record for the longest world title win in WWE history (2,803 days). Reigns has been the reigning Universal Champion for over 770 days so far and continue to do so. Reigns unified the world title by defeating Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 38.##
As Kross noted, "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," ##
The former NXT champion said that he is ready to match what the people want. Krauss explained enjoying the big fight feel, and he aims to pass it on to fans.##
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 said.##
