On the latest edition of Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T discussed about the potential opponents for Roman Reigns who would challenge him for his Universal Championship.
During the discussion, one of the fan suggested that NXT Champion Karrion Kross could potentially face Roman Reigns in future. Then, Booker T stated Karrion Kross could be the ‘next big thing’ but he wanted to see a bit more from Kross what he can do in the ring.
“I need to see a little bit more of what Karrion Kross can do from a match perspective, working with guys from a scientific perspective, psycology-wise. I haven’t delved deep enough inside as far as Karrion Kross can go out there and do. The thing I know about Karrion Kross is, when he walks out of the curtain, just his appearance says this guy here could be the ‘next big thing’. I know he’s coming off an injury and that kind of stuff right there, in WWE, could definitely hold you back. Guys that get an injury here and there, get put in a position running with a belt or something and boom, get injured.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
After joining the company, within a months he won the NXT Title by defeating the Keith Lee but following night he relinquished his title due to injury. After his return from the injury, he won the NXT Title from Finn Balor last month at NXT Takeover Stand And Deliver.
