In the current era of WWE, many storylines are intertwined with each. For example, Bianca Belair currently is involved in a feud with IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, but at the same time, she still has unfinished business with regard to Naomi and Jade Cargill.
Similarly, former WWE World Champion AJ Styles is feuding with Logan Paul, but he’s also being pushed by Karrion Kross to unleash his dark side. Last night on WWE Raw, Kross wrestled The Phenomenal One in a one-on-one match.
Kross has been known to incorporate ‘Easter Eggs’ or homages in his work on WWE TV, and recently told WrestleZone that there’s one fans haven’t found yet. During the match on RAW, the former NXT World Champion paid homage to his opponent in several ways.
How did Karrion Kross pay tribute to AJ Styles?
Karrion Kross included several homages during his match with AJ Styles, including the style of his tights. The attire that Karrion Kross wore was made by the same designer who makes the Styles’ tights. Midway through the match, Kross faked an ankle injury to gain the upper hand. However, this is the same injury that AJ Styles suffered, which sidelined him for several months.
The match came to an end with Styles hitting the Phenomenal Forearm on Kross, picking up the victory and gaining more momentum heading into his match against Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41 Night 2. The important thing to note here is that as Styles was setting up for his iconic signature move, Kross kept his hands behind his back, seemingly offering himself to the Phenomenal One.
This act of Kross seems to have caught the eye of a few fans. They see his actions as attempts to bring out the evil side of AJ Styles.
