WWE Superstar Karrion Kross talks about a potential match with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 39
Karrion Kross has often expressed how he respected Bray Wyatt and looked up to the late wrestler. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the former IMPACT star opened up about his relationship with The Eater of Worlds.
Kross revealed he was supposed to fight Wyatt inside the squared circle at WrestleMania 39. He further stated that they were secretly discussing ideas for the potential match.
"So fast forward, we were supposed to work last WrestleMania. Nobody knew that except for a collection of writers and some people in the office. [Was this WrestleMania 39?] Yeah. We were slated to do something. And we would talk for hours about how we wanted to get into it, what we wanted to deliver creatively for people where we thought we both needed to be. We had, you know, ideas with Alexa [Bliss], Bo [Dallas] and Scarlett. You know, and then everything happened the way it did," Karrion Kross said.
A match between two of the most skilled character workers in the company at the Grandest Stage of Them All could have been show-stealing. But unfortunately, we are left only with our imagination of what could have been.
