Karrion Kross Claims Beloved WWE Star Is A “Liar”

Karrion Kross finally wrestled in a singles match at a premium live event in over a year.

However, his quest to overpower his opponent, Sami Zayn, at WWE Night of Champions ended without the victory he sought.

Kross had been playing mind games with Zayn over the last few weeks, stating that the latter would never win a major championship.

He also predicted Zayn’s loss to Randy Orton at the King of the Ring Tournament semi-finals, only igniting their exchange.

During a recent interview with Saudi newspaper Ariyadhiah, Karrion Kross was asked about what he wanted from the Canadian wrestler, and he did not mince words, calling him a liar.

I want people to see the truth. And the truth is Sami Zayn is a liar. He’s pretending to be this good guy he’s not. He wants your sympathy so he can weaponize that and get a world title run. Trust me when I tell you this. He has a career history that you can watch. He has done terrible things to people. This is the whole charade. I don’t like liars and I’ve always targeted liars.

Karrion Kross Attacks Sami Zayn On WWE RAW

Karrion Kross is not done with Sami Zayn yet, and this was clear by his attack on the former NXT Champion on the June 30 RAW episode.

Zayn was scheduled to pair up with Penta to face Bron Breakker and ‘Big’ Bronson Reed in the main event.

Before his interview with Jackie Redmond began backstage, Kross showed up with a cheap attack and hit him with a few punches.

He then brought a steel pipe and hit Zayn in the ribs before the referees intervened to break up the fight.

Zayn showed up in his tag team match later in the night with bandaged ribs.
