"He's gonna be very smart to push him" - Wrestling veteran says Triple H should give 37-year-old WWE Superstar a monster push
WCW legend Konnan thinks Triple H would be wise to push Karrion Kross to the moon after the latter recently returned to WWE.
The former NXT Champion made his stunning SmackDown debut on the show's August 5th episode alongside his wife, Scarlett. Kross instantly made his presence felt by laying down Drew McIntyre and then having a staredown with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

For those unaware, Kross was released from the global juggernaut in November 2021. He then returned to the independent scene, only to return after Hunter assumed creative responsibilities. He has returned better than ever, with many viewers, including Konnan, having nothing but good things to say about him.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Keepin' It 100, Konnan raved about Kross's return. The wrestling veteran feels that Triple H shouldn't think before pushing the former NXT Champion as a main event attraction in WWE.
"Looks like they are going to push him [Karrion Kross]. Triple H knows talent, bro. He's there, that's his call and he's gonna push him and he's gonna be very smart to push him," said Konnan. (5:28 - 5:44)
