Logan Paul has been one of the most talked-about personalities in the wrestling industry. When he first made his debut in WWE, many fans and even wrestlers felt he wasn’t made for wrestling. However, he proved everyone wrong by attracting natural heat from fans as a heel and developing impressive wrestling skills in a short amount of time. Fellow WWE Superstar Karrion Kross also expressed his opinion about The Maverick.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani on his show, Kross discussed Paul’s inclusion in WWE. The former NXT Champion said that while he didn’t have any problem with him, there were some points he didn’t agree with. He claimed that outsiders shouldn’t receive extra privileges over those who have dedicated their whole lives to the wrestling business.
The Harbinger of Doom felt that WWE didn’t need people from outside the wrestling community to go viral. He further added that the Stamford-based company had enough talent to make itself go viral.
“I don’t have a problem with Logan Paul. What I have a problem with is this idea within the system to reward the mainstream archetype, like Logan, with certain types of liberties and privileges that could be delegated to the people who have pretty much dedicated their entire lives and are here full time. We, the collective, the talent, the wrestlers, the performers, we can go viral too.”

Although Kross hasn’t had many opportunities in 2025, he has certainly made the fans care about him. He has been a part of many storylines involving backstage segments. However, his rant about not getting enough opportunities in an interview after WrestleMania 41 has certainly caught the attention of many. It’s safe to say that Kross might get a few chances to prove his worth.
