Former NXT Champion Karrion Kross has vowed to seemingly humiliate Rey Mysterio, teasing a potential feud on SmackDown.
On the latest episode of Friday Night show, Rey Mysterio faced off against Angel Garza in a solid match. In an impressive contest, the WWE legend had the last laugh on Garza, following his taunt to use Mysterio's 619 finisher move and mock the late Eddie Guerrero.
After the match, returning WWE couple Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux looked at The Master of 619, showcasing his time to face the wrath of The Doom Walker.
Not only that, but the 37-year-old star took to Twitter to share that he has competed in Mexico's wrestling circuit for over three years and has never been defeated. Ahead of teasing a hot rivalry with the WWE legend, Kross asserted he had slammed every legendary luchador except "The King," referring to Rey Mysterio.
"I competed in Mexico at the highest level for over 3 years. I was never pinned or submitted once. I beat them all. Every prospect. Every name. Every Champion. Every Legend. Except for The King himself. Fate has aligned me again with completing the new timeline," Kross wrote.
