Karrion Kross, who had a stellar run in NXT as a two-time NXT Champion, faced numerous challenges upon his main roster call-up in 2021, enduring weekly humiliation. However, after making a triumphant return to WWE last year, Kross has become a prominent figure on SmackDown. Recently, he made headlines when he was spotted at a Jeff Hardy concert.
Since his return, Kross made a memorable impact by attacking Drew McIntyre during the closing moments of SmackDown in August last year. Engaging in a heated rivalry with McIntyre, Kross later shifted his focus to a feud with the legendary Rey Mysterio.
While Kross has earned respect from his peers, one individual who holds a special place in his admiration is Jeff Hardy. It’s worth noting that Hardy, known as The Charismatic Enigma, is not only a pro wrestling icon but also an accomplished musician with his rock band PeroxWhy?Gen.
Taking to Twitter, Karrion Kross shared a video capturing a surprising moment during a recent Jeff Hardy concert. In the footage, Kross can be seen sneaking up on Hardy with a chair. Instead of using it against his rival, however, Kross opted to discard it and embraced the wrestling legend, showcasing a unique display of mutual respect.
In his tweet, Kross included a snippet of lyrics from a song, further emphasizing the connection between him and Hardy: “Another series is what I want to play, Another problem I don’t need today, Another choice is what I want to choose, Equal we are when time we lose 💀😉.”
It is worth recalling that Karrion Kross suffered a shocking defeat to Jeff Hardy in under two minutes during his initial main roster debut match in 2021. Despite the unexpected outcome, the bond of mutual love and respect between the two competitors remains unshaken, reminding us that in the world of professional wrestling, relationships often transcend wins and losses.
Another series is what I want to play
Another problem I don't need today
Another choice is what I want to choose
Equal we are when time we lose
