Fresh off losing the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver 36, Karrion Kross arrived on Monday Night Raw this week with new ring gear and a helmet. The look was instantly met with mockery on social media as fans compared Kross to Shredder, Lord Humongous and Demolition, while others were simply baffled by WWE changing up Kross’ presentation yet again. Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast spoke to a source within the company regarding the change and wrote their response on Twitter Tuesday morning.
Spoke to a source regarding Kross’s new ring gear. His response :
“Everything & everyone must be marketable. Toys, shirts, imaging, and accessories. You need to stand out to sell and this is how they sell” pic.twitter.com/rooHCMowsO
