Roman Reigns warned a star who recently left WWE

A star who recently left WWE has revealed that he once received strong advice from Roman Reigns. The OTC has been a staple of the company in the last decade and has grown to be one of the key members of the company backstage. Given his experience in the business at the highest level, it is obvious that he knows a thing or two about its ups and downs.

Karrion Kross and his wife, Scarlett, recently left WWE after their contracts with the sports entertainment juggernaut expired. Now, as he looks ahead to his next move, the former NXT Champion posted a video on X (Twitter).

Kross captioned the video, "Advice I got from a Tribal Chief about 8 years ago in Las Vegas," as he talked about how Roman Reigns warned him during their first meeting.

"He said, 'Brother, when you get the good and it's good for me right now, you get a whole lot of bad with it too.' And he goes 'just remember that when you're coming up.' He goes 'when you get the good, you're going to get the bad,'" Kross mentioned. [From 0:00-0:26]

The Harbinger of Doom said that this advice was something he has "never forgotten," and it has hit him in different "waves and levels" over time.

Back in 2018, Kross was busy with various promotions and had runs in TNA and AAA. He signed with WWE in 2020 and soon rose the ranks to become the NXT Champion. After a brief stint on RAW, he was released before being brought back in 2022.

Big Roman Reigns match confirmed by WWE

With WWE heading to France for its next premium live event, Clash in Paris, a big Roman Reigns match has been announced.

The Tribal Chief has been involved in a feud with Seth Rollins's Vision faction since his return to the ring. Bronson Reed, in particular, has been a thorn in Reigns' side, laying him out on a few occasions and then taking his shoes.

So, RAW GM Adam Pearce made the match between Reigns and Reed official for Clash in Paris in a video posted by WWE.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
