Former WWE Superstar Karrion Kross (also known as Killer Kross) recently shared his learnings and takeaways during his time with the company.

Kross was associated with WWE NXT, where he made his debut in 2020 and was a two-time champion. Shortly after making his main roster debut on RAW last year, he was released by the company alongside his wife and on-screen manager Scarlett Bordeaux.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Karrion Kross highlighted his views on WWE's varied approach in the industry.

"WWE has their own way of how they approach things. And look whether you love it or you hate it, it is a way that produces millions of dollars globally. So, I was very intrigued to learn how they were approaching things, how they wanted to use things and what their desired result was of that and seeing the outcome of it," Kross said.

He also that he merges their methods and his own while competing in the independent scene.

"I have that now and I kind of dabble it now when I'm working independently, applying things I learnt there with things that they may have just not seen as something they wanted in their programming." [1:08 - 1:44]
