Recently, we saw the start of a new feud on Smackdown Live. Karrion Kross has finished up with Drew McIntyre, and is now focusing on another fan favourite in Rey Mysterio. This is something that Kross has been wanting for a very long time – having been a fan of Mysterio’s since first seeing him wrestle in 1996.
Karrion Kross Is Very Excited To Work With Rey Mysterio
While speaking to Peter Rosenburg, Karrion Kross would be asked about his thoughts of getting to work with Rey Mysterio in WWE. Kross would have the following to say.
“Over the moon. There were like three luchadors that I had on my list, four, actually, for many years. I spent half of my career in Mexico. I was in AAA working major cities and television programs. I’m a very big lucha libre fan, I understand it and speak the language. The list was Dr. Wagner, Pentagon, Fenix, and Rey.
Getting Rey, checking that name off the list after all these years had been very difficult and it seems like it’s going to happen right now. I remember the first I saw Rey, it was against Juvi in ECW, I want to say 96. The powerbomb on the car on the outside. It was unbelievable, it was like hardcore lucha libre.
I’m very excited about this and I’m getting ready to give people something unique and interesting to Rey’s total overall story arc that they haven’t seen yet before. I’m going to get into some really interesting things, if permitted to, and I think I will be. We’re collaboratively and creatively ready to embrace that process. So far, since I’m gone back, I’ve been very happy.”
A Better Rival For Kross
This feud got it’s start on the latest episode of Smackdown Live, when Kross & Scarlett would meet Mysterio in the trainers room – saying that there always comes a time for a workhorse to be put down. It’s likely this feud leads to a match at Royal Rumble 2023, as there are no more PPV’s planned for December in WWE.
The matches with McIntyre left a lot to be desired, and it seems likely that Mysterio will be a much better opponent for someone like Kross. Mysterio can generally bring the best out of any possible opponent, and Kross is unlikely to be an exception.
