Karrion Kross quickly became one of the top stars in NXT after he signed a deal with WWE, and it seemed that he was being groomed to make a major impact on the main roster.
However, his WWE career started to fall off the rails when he was called up to the main roster, and after a few weeks his gimmick was changed. Kross started coming to the ring wearing a gladiator helmet, and the look was not well received by the fans.
On Thursday WWE released Karrion Kross along with 17 other talents, and when a fan jokingly pondered if he could have the helmet on Twitter Kross had the following response:
“Nobody wants that piece of s**t brother. 😂”
Nobody wants that piece of shit brother. 😂
