Karrion Kross is ready for Night of Champions.

The Herald of Doomsday will face fan favorite Sami Zayn in a singles competition.

On the preview show, he was interviewed by Byron Saxton.

Kross, accompanied by Scarlett, minced no words and cut a fiery promo. He called Zayn a “misdirected artist” and a liar.

Over the last few weeks, Kross stalked Zayn during backstage segments, saying the latter was not championship material and would never win a major title.

Last week, Zayn punched Kross after he played some more mind games.

During the interview, he said that Zayn collects sympathy, weaponizes it, and uses it to his advantage. He cited the OG Bloodline storyline as an example.

Karrion Kross then directed the chat towards Saxton, making his stand clear about being constantly ignored.

And by the way, I love how you wanna talk about Sami Zayn…nobody ever wants to ask me about my story. Funny, eh! That’s okay. I’ll proceed with humility because guess what, the entire world is talking about my story right now. I don’t wanna get in trouble and have another viral moment.

He thanked Saxton before exiting.

Karrion Kross Hits Out At Fabricated Reports About Him

Karrion Kross is not getting much time in the ring as it is.

Then, to read about false claims only annoys him.

The former NXT Champion recently responded to fabricated reports that claimed WWE may not extend his contract for refusing to take flat back bumps.

I thought out of all the crazy articles that are fabricated about me every week, that was the weakest. There was another wild one I saw last week that was even funnier. It said something like, ‘Karrion Kross is going to come to Monday Night Raw and he’s going to quit and do a shoot promo live, and then walk out.’ I thought that was a good one.

But I don’t really respond to any of them. There’s a crazy one about me every week or two. You just kind of have to laugh.

Kross’ WWE contract is set to expire in the coming months. However, there have been no reports of any discussions between him and the company.
