WATCH: NXT Champion Karrion Kross’ Main Roster Debut

That’s a new way to go. NXT is a rather unique wrestling promotion as the wrestlers not only try to become stars to the NXT audience but also try to get moved up to either Monday Night Raw or SmackDown. They often find something that works well for them in NXT, only to have it changed around once they reach the main roster. That might be the case again with a pretty big name.

NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his main roster debut during this week’s edition of Main Event, which airs both internationally and on Hulu. Kross’ entrance was not the same as the one that he regularly uses in NXT. His manager Scarlett was not included and the special effects were missing as well. There is no word on if those elements, including Scarlett, will be back if Kross is promoted to the main roster full time.

You might notice something different. Check out Kross’ NXT entrance vs. his Main Event entrance, plus a little hidden gem you might not have seen before (yes it’s him):

Karrion Kross and Scarlett make their debut: WWE NXT, May 6, 2020

The Prime Time Players reunite: Raw, February 16, 2015

Opinion: Is this really a surprise? WWE has a bad habit of taking people who come up from NXT and wiping out almost everything that got them noticed in the first place. I’m really not sure why that is their standard operating procedure but they are doing it again here. Maybe they are waiting for Kross to make his big debut and if so fair enough, but egads this does not give me much hope.

What do you think of Kross? How important is his entrance? Let us know in the comments below.
