Tony Khan comments on if AEW has any interest in former WWE star Karrion Kross
While speaking to Ariel Helwani, AEW President Tony Khan commented on if AEW has any interest in former WWE star Karrion Kross aka Killer Kross…
“I have not spoken to him in many, many years… I like Killer Kross. It’d be interesting at some point to talk to him again. It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to Killer Kross, and it would be interesting. [So, when he became free, you guys didn’t chat?] I haven’t yet. He did some stuff with Darby that I was involved with—Darby—in terms of clearing the schedule for Darby to do an independent match with him here in New York. And they did a match, which I was involved in. Darby and I were actually at the Comic Con together that day promoting AEW Full Gear and the comic books with AEW and DC, and Darby went right from the Comic Con panel where he assaulted Mox… I actually wanted to go see his match, but Darby had to be hustled out and we still had events. So Darby left early to go do that match with Killer Kross, which was great that he was able to do both things. So I didn’t get to see him that night. That probably would have been a great chance to connect with him. I think he’s tremendous.”
“[Were you surprised that WWE didn’t sign him?] It’s interesting. I mean, you never know what’s going on with different wrestlers and different wrestling organizations, so I can’t speak to that. But I think he is very talented, and Darby said he had a great experience with him. So it would definitely be worth reconnecting. I mean, you know, we get so deep in our foxholes thinking about the different things we’re doing, and sometimes I get so laser-focused on one thing, as you can see, that I think about those things. But at some point, he’s definitely a great name to think about.”
