Karrion Kross is presently active on Monday Night RAW and he is doing an amazing job. He is also leading a faction named The Final Testament. He is one of the biggest prospects of the promotion right now and we can expect him to win some championships soon in the red brand of WWE.
But the early days of Kross after joining the main roster was not really very fruitful. He got his first main roster break in 2021 after having a wonderful time in the NXT. But he was almost buried instantly after joining main roster. He could not survive in WWE during that time either as he was released soon after his promotion.

In August 2022, he returned to WWE and instantly he was awarded with a feud with Drew McIntyre. He even picked up a huge victory over the Scottish Warrior. But soon, he became a jobber and started struggling. Recently, he spoke to am Roberts on "Notsam Wrestling" where he discussed his struggles after joining the main roster;
"I was really surprised because I wanted to get the most I absolutely could out of 'NXT,' and do my best work, obviously," Kross said.
Karrion Kross is a two times former NXT Champion
“He recalled trying to demonstrate his capabilities — including work rate, ethic, and character knowledge — to get called up to the main roster. However, when he made his debut on the red brand, his work was "dismantled."

"Before I left, I had this idea that was kind of, kind of what I'm doing right now," Kross explained. "[We] would target the history of the people we were working with — the babyfaces, let's say — and we'd talk about bad things they did in their career. The general premise was, like, nobody can avoid judgement. Like, everyone is guilty, and now you will be tried for this thing you did x amount of times ago."
Kross might have to struggle for more than a year after returning to WWE, but he had been doing quite well after forming The Final Testament faction. He shocked the world after he pinned Uncle Howdy. He had to face some backlash after this but it became pretty clear that WWE has big plans for Karrion Kross.
