A WWE star who has been noticeably absent for a while provided a mysterious update on their future.
Karrion Kross was defeated by AJ Styles on the August 11th episode of SmackDown, and he hasn’t appeared on WWE TV since. Despite his absence from televised events, Kross has remained active by participating in live wrestling events, and he is currently strategizing his next move.
Kross talked about living in Las Vegas and seeing people risk their lives to gamble in a recent YouTube video. The typical theatrics were all over the video. This experience motivated him to take control of his own destiny.
Karrion Kross on taking charge of one’s own destiny
“Well, well, well,” begins Karrion Kross’s statement. That’s where it is, and here you are.” This is not an accidental discovery, and he thinks the viewer’s presence suggests a deliberate search. He contends that this is a tale that should have been well-known much earlier.
Kross discloses that prior to becoming involved in the current venture, he was a part of another business venture that brought him to Sin City.
This confirms what he says, that there has always been a strong force within him. Kross emphasizes that he is not crazy and that, despite his ignorance at the time, he felt compelled to leave his house by an inner force that he couldn’t quite identify. At this prodding, he found an opportunity—a job.
Karrion Kross continues his story by saying, “I made the decision to move on to other things.” I moved past the financial aspect of my home.” He conveys a change in priorities, understanding that money is no longer important, particularly when the one paying him starts to irritate him.
“I needed to know what my deeper calling was, and I began to observe gambling,” says Kross, describing his transformation. He describes how, in spite of the house’s unavoidable advantage, he saw people risk everything in the hopes that things would get better.
Observing people deteriorate under unchanged circumstances served as inspiration for him. “I want to become that chance,” Kross declares, making it apparent that he prefers to be the outcome where things go wrong and people are left with less than they had before. He transformed into what he referred to as “the house” and “the end.”
WWE Seems to Be Dropping AJ Styles’ Comeback
AJ Styles hasn’t been on SmackDown since September 15, while Karrion Kross hasn’t been seen since August. There was excitement for his return when his profile showed up on the SmackDown events page on November 11.
The fact that AJ Styles did not appear in the episode raised the possibility that WWE had given up on getting the wrestler back.
