The 39-year-old Superstar is grateful for being a part of WrestleMania 41.

Every WWE Superstar dreams of being a part of WrestleMania during their stay in the company. For two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross, that dream came true at WrestleMania 41. He delved deeper into it when he spoke with Ariel Helwani.

Karrion Kross wasn’t booked in a match for WrestleMania 41, however, he made his presence felt during a match between AJ Styles and Logan Paul. While in conversation with Ariel Helwani, Karrion Kross spoke about how his role at the Show Of Shows came to be. He stated that he didn’t know about it till hours before the match.

The 39-year-old Superstar was at WWE World at the beginning of the day, signing autographs and meeting fans. Around noon or 1 PM, he received a text telling him to be in the building right away. He replied politely, asking them to wait while he finished off with the fans, and later went to the back and got to work.

“This is like noon or 1 pm [local time] and I was like, ‘Oh boy…’ There’s a line of people here, I can’t get up and leave, so I just as politely and respectfully as I could, I just sent back a text, ‘Let me get through all of these people. They were waiting here in line for a very long time. I’m not [bailing on them]. I can’t.’ And they were cool with it, knocked out the line, went to work. Honestly, I felt very grateful. I felt grateful to have any part in the show whatsoever at all. You could want the world, you could want it all and you could go for it, but it’s important not to lose the gratitude of even having the smallest part in something so big.”

Huge Match In The Works For Cody Rhodes After WrestleMania 41

WrestleMania 41 saw the end of Cody Rhodes’ reign as WWE Champion when John Cena pinned him to become the only Superstar to hold the title 17 times. Since then, The American Nightmare has been missing in action with no appearance on any show.

Now, a report claims that WWE has a huge Tag Team Match planned for Money In The Bank. According to the report, John Cena will be teaming up with Travis Scott and Logan Paul to take on the team of The Usos and Cody Rhodes. While the match isn’t confirmed, WWE has two more weeks to set the stage for Rhodes’ return if the rumors are true.
