Kross, who held the NXT Championship earlier this year, was let go by WWE along with 17 other Superstars last week. The two-time NXT Champion was moved to RAW in August and was given an unusual-looking ring attire, which fans did not like.
While speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast on AdFreeShows, Bischoff explained how being released could hit a wrestler emotionally and mentally. But he believes wrestlers should look at these releases as an opportunity:
Bischoff stated that wrestlers should believe in themselves as making it to WWE shows that they have talent.
Karrion Kross’ unfortunate WWE main roster run
Kross was brought to the WWE main roster with much fanfare and was expected to be challenging for world titles in the future. He had developed a large fan following after his dominant performances in NXT and many likened him to wrestlers from previous eras.
Unfortunately, Kross was booked poorly and even lost his first match on the main roster. He was also saddled with ring gear that didn’t match his in-ring persona and fans weren’t won over by what they saw.
WWE also did not pair him up with his fiance Scarlett Bordeaux on screen in the main roster, which fans wanted to see. Scarlett, too, was let go by WWE last week after months on the sidelines.
Wherever the two of them end up, they are bound to do extremely well for themselves given the talent they possess.
