“We Want Kross!” – How Karrion Kross’ Unstoppable Fan Support Left WWE Higher-Ups Stunned
Karrion Kross has been hearing something in WWE arenas that no one in the company expected — thunderous chants of “We Want Kross!” ringing out at every show.
And according to Kross himself, even WWE’s top brass didn’t see it coming.
In a recent YouTube video, the former NXT Champion pulled back the curtain on the reaction backstage to his sudden surge in popularity.
“I was told by some people, ‘Don’t acknowledge it.’ That felt wrong. A real connection with the audience doesn’t happen for everyone,” Kross said.
The thinking behind those warnings? WWE higher-ups reportedly doubted the chants would last. But they were dead wrong. Instead of fading, the cheers grew louder every single week.
A Three-Year Build the Fans Never Forgot
Kross says the groundswell wasn’t some storyline cooked up in creative meetings — it was organic, built from moments going all the way back to his NXT debut and his hard-hitting performances on Raw.
Still, the reaction made some people in WWE uncomfortable.
“It feels like you got ahead of something they didn’t think you would… and they don’t like that,” he admitted.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Behind the scenes, Kross decided to check if the hype was real. The answer? Absolutely. His T-shirts rocketed up WWE’s online merchandise charts, proving the chants weren’t just noise — they were money.
By the time SummerSlam and Raw rolled around, “We Want Kross” was echoing across arenas nationwide.
Even Logan Paul Took Notice
Kross also gave a nod to Logan Paul for inviting him to be part of his WrestleMania 41 match against AJ Styles — another sign that fellow talent sees the star power building.
💥 Bottom line: Karrion Kross is riding one of the most unexpected waves of fan support WWE has seen in years. The question now is whether WWE’s creative team will ride with him… or try to swim against the tide.
