Jon Moxley’s Surprising Role in Karrion Kross’s WWE Journey Revealed!

In a candid interview with Sam Roberts for Not Sam Wrestling, the charismatic Karrion Kross opened up about his transition to WWE, discussing not only his journey but the pivotal role played by none other than Jon Moxley.

Kross, who previously built his reputation on the independent wrestling circuit and as Killer Kross in TNA Wrestling, shared that before signing with WWE in 2020, he was uncertain about his next steps. It was Jon Moxley, a prominent figure in wrestling, who nudged Kross to consider a major move. Moxley encouraged Kross to reach out to Triple H, offering him direct access with his personal phone number.

In Kross's own words, he recounted Moxley’s advice: “He basically said, ‘Hey, listen, I’m not telling you where to go or how to make money, but I’m just saying you really should call Triple H. You could make a very, very good living there. Work wherever you want, go wherever you want. I just have a feeling if you call him, things are going to be good for you.’”

At first taken aback, Kross initially questioned the idea of just calling Triple H out of the blue. However, after Moxley insisted, Kross felt compelled to reach out. “So, I sent Triple H a text. He calls me back and says, ‘Is this really Killer Kross? I don’t know, you could be some prank caller or something.’” This surprising conversation led to Kross signing with WWE a few months later, solidifying his place within the NXT brand.

Karrion Kross’s journey is proof of the power of networking and support within the wrestling community. With Moxley’s nudge, Kross not only launched his WWE career but also became one of the notable stars in the industry today. As fans eagerly follow his quests in the ring, it’s clear that sometimes all it takes is a simple phone call to change your life.
