Karrion Kross has gone into his relationship with Bray Wyatt, prior to the latter’s death in 2023.
The former NXT Champion spoke with Sam Roberts on YouTube. He revealed a pitch Bray Wyatt made for the pair of them in the WWE. Kross claimed that Bray Wyatt wanted them to face off at WrestleMania. The former WWE Champion likened their potential match to a bout between Terry Funk vs Bruiser Brody. Wyatt also asked Karrion Kross to vet the NXT wrestlers for him, to see who would be a good fit for the Wyatt Sicks faction.
“The best way I could explain my relationship with him is that we had a lot of ideas. I remember one day, I went up to him and said, ‘Hey dude, I think I should create an opposition group to fight you.’ And he was like, ‘Hm… don’t do that.’
“I asked, ‘Why?’ and he said, ‘The way you’re being produced right now is perfect. It’s not malicious. But you’re not going to be produced that way anymore if you’re in opposition to me because we have similarities. What we should do is try to kill each other at WrestleMania.’
“I was like, ‘Oh.’ He continued, ‘Watch Terry Funk and Bruiser Brody with me. That’s the kind of match I really feel would be good for the both of us. I want to do that.’ I agreed, and he added, ‘After that, maybe on the night of or the night after, we find some common ground.’
Karrion Kross On Bray Wyatt’s Plan For Wyatt Sicks
“He had so many ideas. One of them was to create a group even bigger than Wyatt Sicks, with representation on each show. He wanted me to vet some of the people at NXT because he didn’t know who they were. He knew who he liked and who had cool gimmicks and creative ideas, but he didn’t want to invite people who could become problematic or marks for themselves. So, he asked me to vet people in NXT for this group.
“He also wanted me to move to the other show so I could still be produced the same way and not lose my edge. He explained, ‘If you stand next to me, I’m always going to be the one talking. You have something, and I don’t want to stifle that.’ He was a real center man.”
Kross went on to explain that Wyatt was very interested in The Court Of Owls of Batman lore, and also had an idea for Wade Barrett to be his “inside” commentator.
