Karrion Kross is one of the future prospects of WWE who is doing a tremendous job on Monday Night RAW right now. Before joining the main roster, he had a superb career in the NXT as he had been a two times NXT Champion. However, the early days of his main roster career was not as fruitful as it was in the NXT.
Despite he had a huge victory over Drew McIntyre after his return to the promotion in 2022, he became a jobber at a point and he was losing almost all of his matches. When fans gave up on him, he started running his own faction on Monday Night RAW named The Final Testament and it was the beginning of success of his career.

"After the show, he's like, he basically says 'Hey listen. I'm not telling you where to go. I'm not telling you where to make money. But I'm just saying, you really should call Triple H, cause you could make a very, very good living there,'" Kross said. "He was like 'Work wherever you want, go wherever you want. But I just have a feeling that if you call him, things are going to be good for you.'
"And I was like...that's like 'What do you mean? Call Triple H? What do you mean?' He's like 'Nah, just call him...I'm giving you his number. I want you to call him.' And I was like 'Oh my god.' Well now I can't [not call him]...So now I had to...So I sent him [Triple H] a text.
"He calls me and is like 'Is this really Killer Kross?' Cause like, I don't know, it could be a crank caller or somebody gets his number. So we talk, and a few months later, I was in 'NXT,' and that's kind of how that worked." Concluded Karrion Kross.
