After making a name for himself in a string of independent promotions as well as IMPACT Wrestling, Karrion Kross was finally secured to a contract by WWE in early 2020. Many fans might not know that he made a brief appearance for the company 5 years ago, teaming up with Darren Young to take on The Ascension.

Ever since he debuted in NXT in early 2020, Kross has built an undefeated streak of his own on the brand. He was immediately paired with Scarlett, who is in a relationship with Kross in real life. Kross made a huge impact in his debut, by attacking former WWE NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa. He went on to defeat Ciampa in a matter of minutes at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. Prior to this win, Kross had defeated Leon Ruff and Liam Gray in squashed matches, with both lasting less than a minute.
Kross has also registered victories against the likes of Bronson Reed and Dominick Dijakovic. He has dominated his opponents in all five bouts he has been a part of in NXT. Fans of Kross can't wait to see him move to RAW or SmackDown somewhere down the line, and have feuds with some of WWE's biggest Superstars.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
