Karrion Kross has finally broken his silence on his WWE departure through a long and candid video on his YouTube channel. In the video, Kross revealed that his plan from the start of the year was to stay with the company. However, things did not work out as he had hoped.

“I expressed interest to renegotiate in early January with WWE,” he said. “It’s like, preposterous that anyone would think that I wouldn’t want to be here… I’m fully committed, I’m here.”

He added, “So many, many months have gone by and I never had a single conversation about it until recently.

“I don’t even feel like the conversation I had recently was like an actual serious one. The conversation was done, and there wasn’t really anything that was discussed, of real substance, and that… just really profoundly disappointed me.”

Kross also claimed that there were opportunities for him, but he was held back, which was frustrating.

“It’s probably the hardest part of the gig when you know you can give more, and they tell you, ‘Hey, don’t home run that. Hit that to the outfield and run to second and make sure you stop on second. You’re on the court playing basketball. They tell you to pass the ball, but you’ve got a three point shot right there. We’re all on the same team… You shoot, you get the three points. They’re mad at you. Why are they mad at you?” he explained.

Kross mentioned that he was building a strong connection with the audience, but some within the company did not see it positively.

“Me building a relationship and having a relationship with the audience, sometimes by certain people, to me, it feels like they’re treating it as I’m being rebellious, or I’m like it’s treated almost like it’s a problem, that this has happened,” he stated. “And that should not feel that way… it makes it feel like you know you, you outperformed or you, you got ahead of something that they didn’t think you were going to get ahead of, and they don’t like that you’ve gotten ahead of it is the way it feels, and that’s not a good feeling.”
