Former WWE Superstar Killer ‘Karrion’ Kross has said he had “no idea what’s out there” after his release.

Kross was released from WWE last November after becoming a two-time NXT Champion, but struggled on the main roster.

Speaking on The Wrestling Inc. Daily, Kross discussed the initial reaction to his release, saying:

“I was, like, ‘I don’t know what the state, or the national economic situation is looking like. I have no idea what’s out there.’ But, as soon as we put our booking emails up, we got blown up immediately with a million types of different things. Not even just wrestling, a variety of different types of directions of business, and revenue, and everything. We basically just take our time, whenever we can find it, to assess each day when one of them comes in.”

Kross added that his release was a ‘blessing in disguise:’

“Respectfully, this was a blessing in disguise. And I, although the last little bit was super unusual, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the company and I’m glad people got to see me and I’m going to take the ball now and I’m going to run as far as I can with it.”

The former NXT Champion has competed for New Japan, WrestlePro, MLW and Warrior Wrestling since his release.
