Backstage reaction to Karrion Kross losing on RAW and WWE personality defends booking decision

As previously noted, Jeff Hardy defeated Karrion Kross on the July 19th 2021 edition of WWE RAW in what was Kross’ debut on the show.

Fightful Select noted that people in the NXT brand were said to be disappointed about the booking decision. The site wrote the following…

“There was significant frustration from those we spoke to about how Finn Balor, Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano, Santos Escobar, Oney Lorcan and others had worked hard to help make Kross as dominant as possible.”

WWE personality Peter Rosenberg publicly defended the booking decision…

Kross losing was interesting! In fact — so was Jeff winning! Stop thinking of it as it relates to nxt … it doesn't … but he got a story on Raw now … both of your complaints are about wins and losses Fam .. weak https://t.co/JFQoqKuoAZ

The main thing I have learned from my years being around wrestlers is how little I know about the biz (even though I read, watch, and ask questions constantly). People on Twitter do none of this(except watch) and SWEAR they KNOW something…take this in deep. You know nothing lol

of course wins and losses matter but not all losses are equal !! getting rolled up with a foot on the rope vs clean in the middle of the ring are vastly different things … this feels obvious but like it needs to be said https://t.co/HsQ5V0hEGT
