While it\u2019s been a while since Karrion Kross was released from WWE, many fans and legends can\u2019t imagine he\u2019s gone. Ahead of his release, he was massively over with the fans and was a staple on WWE TV. Nonetheless, the corporate didn\u2019t appear to see any value in keeping him around.<\/p>\n

DDP On WWE Letting Karrion Kross Leave<\/h2>\n

During a recent interview with Das Hohe Bein<\/a>, WWE Hall of Famer DDP stated the next,<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys who can be incredibly over\u2026 Who would have found their spot? Drew McIntyre. There\u2019s a man with a crazy work ethic, and it\u2019s hard to see through his s***. They let him go, and I don\u2019t understand why. Karrion Kross, Killer Kross, that guy, he\u2019s got all of it. The look, the rap, the promo. The s*** he did at the tip, I just couldn\u2019t imagine they let him leave.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody thought it was a piece, but he told me that that they had offered him more cash, but it surely was sort of like mid-card money. F*** that, he believed in himself. He\u2019s making more cash than he\u2019s ever made without delay. And on top of that, he\u2019s a nasty motherf*****. If he decides no, you\u2019re not winning. You\u2019re not winning. I imagine he\u2019s a brown or a black belt in jiu-jitsu. He\u2019s such a cool dude. I feel the identical way about Drew McIntyre.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kross On His WWE Release<\/h2>\n

Following his release from the corporate, the previous WWE NXT World Champion revealed the way it got here to be. Speaking on an episode of \u201cThe Ariel Helwani Show<\/a>,\u201d Kross said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality of the matter is, my contract was up last week. I never actually received a contract, like a suggestion, until last week. Think it was Tuesday, off the highest of my head. I got the offer. I desired to know the way they got here to the valuation of that supply. Just wanted some information, some metrics, analytics that support, \u2018Hey, that is how we came.’\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I inquired about that, they were unwilling to offer that information and told me I had 24 hours to conform to the offer or they were rescinding it. The subsequent day we talk. I ask in the event that they have the knowledge. They don\u2019t. I said I can\u2019t make an informed decision without the knowledge, and I\u2019d wish to keep the dialogue open. They rescinded the offer. That\u2019s actually where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSunday, we get a message saying we\u2019re gonna be flown home. So, now we\u2019re not gonna be on \u2018Raw.\u2019 That didn\u2019t feel superb. Never in my life have I felt more supported, like ever. It\u2019s a lot support that I don\u2019t even know what to do with it, but it surely is motivating. \u2026 As undesirable as this case is, I still have hope that we will recuperate it, work it out. The support that I get from people each day all over the place is unbelievable.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
