Karrion Kross brought out a new mask on Raw (WWE)
WWE star Karrion Kross reveals his idea behind the mask
Karrion Kross, picked by Raw to stay at the WWE Draft 2021, has finally opened his idea behind his mask.
According to the Table Talk podcast (h/t Ewrestling News), WWE star Kross spoke about his new gear. Kross mentioned that the idea behind the maks was related to a gladiator. He spoke about the fact that the original concept was of the coliseum days.
He said that the character representation of Kross and its development was not just a regular match for people, and he was actually attempting to project a different sort of energy into it.
“The direction I think they were attempting to go in was essentially a gladiator idea. I had introduced the lower body gear at NXT when I competed against Finn Balor to get the title back. My original concept was like, this feels like what the coliseum days would be like. We’re in a circular area with people around. With the character presentation of Karrion Kross and the development, this wasn’t just a regular match people were getting into. Win or lose, you might not be coming out the same way. I was attempting to project that sort of energy into it. What they wanted to do when I was coming up was play off of that. That’s where we’re at with it.”
Continuing the podcast, Kross mentioned how this idea was related to expanding the original concept presented during NXT, and it was actually a whole team’s idea for his attire.
“I’m not entirely sure [who came up with the new gimmick] at this point. I had received a briefing about, I guess it was a creative team conversation, a series of people attempting to expand on the original concept that was presented during NXT. I guess it was a team of people.”
Kross is one of the future prospects for the WWE and his new attire has brought a lot of attention to him from the WWE Universe. He recently got engaged to fellow WWE star Scarlett Bourdeaux.
