Karrion Kross isn’t happy about AJ Styles not taking his advice at WrestleMania 41 and then going on to lose to Logan Paul.
Kross is also made at WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H for choosing TNA World Champion Joe Hendry over him for Randy Orton’s WrestleMania 41 opponent.
Here’s what Kross said on the WrestleMania 41 recap show:
“Let’s talk about how awesome it is to that Logan Paul just won. And let’s talk about what Logan Paul represents – the shortcut. Feels so good to be here, feels so good to be in the business. Thinking about all of the funerals that I wasn’t able to attend for the last 11 years in this business. All the holidays I missed. I could have just started a YouTube channel. Could have just jumped in there with AJ Styles. Feels really good, right? It’s awesome, it’s really good.
They know because they’re normal human beings, and they actually love professional wrestling. But apparently that doesn’t mean sh*t anymore. That doesn’t mean sh*t. All I asked Allen (AJ Styles) to do was for once to not think about just himself. Think about everybody in the back and think about the professional wrestling fans. That’s all I wanted him to do. Sometimes to do the right thing, you have to do the wrong thing. But he’s a narcissist and he had to do it his way.
Hey, Allen, how many more WrestleManias do you have in your system? Probably, I don’t know, one. Maybe it’s just the last one. And you just pi$$ed that away, for what? For your way, thanks a lot, bud, I really appreciate it.
You wanna know what the best advice I ever got? It was from Bill Goldberg, 2021, back when I was in the Twilight Zone, you know what I mean? I’m wrestling for gasoline. It was awesome, let me tell you all about it. Bill goes, hey, Kross, you know what? You remind me a lot of me. I go, ‘I think we have different styles, Bill, but I really appreciate that. Do you have any advice for me?’ He goes, ‘you know what? You just got to be a good soldier.’ A good soldier is what he said.
So I decided to be a good soldier, you know what happened? They released me. And then I come back. You know what being a good soldier gets you everybody here? Just so in case you’re wondering, you want the back scoop here. Being a good soldier gets your times cut. Being a good soldier means that people come up to you and say, ‘hey, you got any great ideas? Yeah, here it is from Scarlett. No, no, no, that’s a little too great. We’re looking just for good ideas. That’s for those guys over there.’ That’s what being a good soldier is, okay? Being a good soldier is coming to your hometown where you cut your teeth. We got started and not being on the card.
It’s all about viral moments now. That’s what it’s all about, viral moments. Well, guy, everybody’s been telling me that I got to become undeniable. And as soon as it happens, they ignore it and they shut it down.
I never asked to wrestle Randy (Orton), I never asked. That happened organically, and you ignored it for a viral moment. And good on Joe (Hendry). Nothing against him, but you ignored it. And the crowd told you exactly how they felt about me on SmackDown when I was eliminated (from the Andre The Giant Battle Royal) and you ignored it.
Become undeniable, my a$$. My a$$. You want a viral moment? On behalf of all of the true fans of professional wrestling, guy with the suit and tie, in the truck, go f**k yourself. That’s from Killer Kross, no, f**k it.”
Kross knocked the mic down after this and Scarlett tried to calm him down. You can watch it below:

Scarlett later tweeted:
“Whatever happens next, we did it our way. Proud to stand beside a man who never plays it safe.”
