"That's gonna be great business" - Wrestling veteran wants top WWE Superstar to challenge Roman Reigns

The Tribal Chief is possibly the most powerful character in all of wrestling today

WCW legend Konnan recently stated that Karrion Kross should be the next in line to challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Since his return to the global juggernaut earlier this month, the former NXT Champion has set his sights on both The Tribal Chief and his Clash at the Castle 2022 opponent Drew McIntyre. During his promo on last week's SmackDown, Kross sent an ominous warning to Reigns, which won plaudits from fans.

One among the many who loved the vignette was Konnan, who lavished praise on Kross on the latest episode of his podcast, Keepin' It 100. He stated it's beyond him why many on Twitter criticize the 37-year-old performer.

Konnan added that Triple H had a "winner" in his hands in the form of Karrion Kross and that he's excited to see him battle it out with Roman Reigns soon.

"I don't get when people bury Karrion Kross and say don't see nothing in him. You see nothing in him? Bro, congratulations Kross, congratulations, Hunter [Triple H], you got a winner, a stud there. We have been saying this for a while, he needs to go about Reigns and that's gonna be great business, bro. I'm so happy and stoked to watch this," said Konnan. (From 3:34 - 4:01)
