Karrion Kross Looks Back On His Strap Match Against Drew McIntyre

Karrion Kross looks forward to facing Drew McIntyre again.

The former NXT Champion has been feuding with “The Scottish Warrior” since he returned to WWE in August. Kross picked up a major win over McIntyre when they faced off in a Strap Match at WWE Extreme Rules.

During a recent interview with Louis Dangoor of GiveMeSport, Kross looked back on the bout and recalled how he was excited about the unique nature of the bout. He brought up other classic Strap Matches and noted that he wanted to capitalize on having a distinct “lane” to create in.

“I wasn’t concerned about it, but I did have questions that I figured would be answered on the day of. I’m very familiar with the feud that Triple H-Rock had with strap matches that was the Brahma Bull match—the bull rope match. Savio [Vega] and Steve Austin was another good one. I wasn’t too concerned about it, I was just more excited because that is a very unique match to do. It’s not done very often because of how painful it actually really is. Getting hit by that thing feels like you’re getting fire and barbed wire dragged across your skin. So I just look at it as an opportunity to demonstrate how—a very unique lane to create in for people.”

When asked about if another match with McIntyre is on the horizon after starting their feud off with a gimmick match, Kross teased they’ll go bigger and better next time around.

“I think we’re gonna go bigger and better next time,” Kross said. ” I think, you know, it’s gotta be bigger and better every time if we’re gonna start there. We gotta top that, and I’m very much looking forward to it. In terms of where I will be and who I will be competing against, I can definitely tell people they’re not gonna be disappointed to see where everything goes, and to keep watching because you, sir, are on the right track. You’re onto something.”

During the October 21 episode of WWE SmackDown, McIntyre announced that he will face Kross in a Steel Cage Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
