Killer Kross will use the name Karrion Kross in WWE. The company released a new t-shirt using the Karrion Kross name following his debut on last night’s NXT television show. For a look at the shirt featuring the new name, visit Shop.WWE.com.
Powell’s POV: Karrion my wayward son. Now that we have that out of the way, it’s no surprise that Kross had to drop the “Killer” name in WWE. I like the new first name. Feel differently? Give it a couple months and it will probably become second nature like most WWE names (Shorty G remains an exception).
That’s not a terrible name, which is always a plus for WWE. It also allows him to leave and transition back to Killer Kross without too much confusion.
I agree, good move for him in the future and now. Judging by the bird on the shirt, it looks like they are going for the carrion bird approach and it kinda fits. A large, carnivorous bird who basically methodically stalks their prey before feasting..
