Karrion Kross isn’t someone who follows the rule book when it comes to challenging his opponents on WWE NXT. Fans have watched The Herald of Doomsday play mind games with his opponents, and also send them a message in the form of an hourglass or playing card.

After Scarlett stalked Santos Escobar during his match against Curt Stallion last week, Kross came out to lay waste to Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza. He gave Escobar the gift of time before telling him to leave the ring.

This week on WWE NXT, Scarlett entered William Regal’s office and asked him to sanction a match between Kross and Escobar for next week. The NXT General Manager did not hesitate and agreed to put the former NXT Champion up against the current NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

Escobar was visibly shaken by the announcement and instructed Wilde and Mendoza to make up for their loss earlier in the night and take out Kross. Instead, fans watched The Herald of Doomsday take out both the men and send a message to Escobar.

Big Mistake. https://t.co/MzCvjGkY24

This simple segment helped make this rivalry and match even better. NXT has ensured that both men don’t get physical before the match itself. This will help them book a better contest next week.
