Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter stated that the belief is that NXT is filled with ‘5-foot-8 guys who were past 30,’ which needs to change. He also noted that the toxicity against NXT is the reason behind Karrion Kross and Dakota Kai getting booked poorly on shows like RAW and Main Event.
As reported previously, Vince McMahon wants to rebrand NXT as a developmental territory. The days of NXT as an ‘alternative’ third brand are over, and McMahon wants to ensure that the next generation of superstars are people who can main-event WrestleMania one day.
It was also reported that NXT superstars were hard to teach on the main roster and had developed a distinctive style that had to be ‘beaten out’ of them.
What could be next for Karrion Kross?
Karrion Kross is currently feuding with Samoa Joe on NXT and Jeff Hardy on RAW. He lost his debut match against Hardy on RAW in a matter of minutes.
While Kross did finally get a win over The Charismatic Enigma this week, it has become clear that he will not be pushed as an unstoppable monster on RAW like he was in the black and gold brand.
The NXT Champion will be defending his title against Samoa Joe at the upcoming NXT Takeover 36 on August 22, 2021, at the Capitol Wrestling Center.
In the video interview posted above, feel free to check out Tommaso Ciampa’s thoughts on his match against Karrion Kross that took place last year.
