Kevin Kesar[1] (born July 19, 1985) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under his ring name Karrion Kross, alongside his real life wife Scarlett and is the leader of The Final Testament.

Prior to his time at WWE, Kesar performed for Impact Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Major League Wrestling (MLW), and multiple promotions on the independent circuit under the ring names Kevin Kross and Killer Kross. In AAA, he was a member of the MAD and La Facción Ingobernable stables. He has also appeared on season four of AAA's American project Lucha Underground as The White Rabbit, the leader of Paul London's Rabbit Tribe stable.[3]

Kesar signed with WWE in February 2020 under the ring name Karrion Kross and began a winning streak on their developmental brand, NXT, that led him to winning the NXT Championship before having to relinquish it due to injury. Kross regained the title in April 2021 at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. After making his main roster debut on the Raw brand that July, his winning streak was immediately broken, he lost the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe the following month, and his on-screen character was subsequently altered. WWE ultimately released Kesar in November, and he returned to WWE in August 2022, nine months after his initial release.

On July 11, 2018, Kross returned with a new character called The White Rabbit, he gave his wooden scepter to Paul London and ordered him to murder Mascarita Sagrada in cold blood for leading the Rabbit Tribe to his secret lair.

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2017–2020)

[edit]

On March 19, 2017, as Kevin Kross, he made his AAA debut at Rey de Reyes, helping Johnny Mundo to win the AAA Mega Championship, AAA Latin American Championship and AAA World Cruiserweight Championship. He made his in-ring debut on April 12, teaming with Johnny Mundo and Taya to defeat Argenis, Ayako Hamada and El Hijo del Fantasma in a No Disqualification six-man tag team match.[10] On June 4, Kross competed in a steel cage triple threat against El Hijo del Fantasma and El Texano Jr. at Verano de Escándalo, the match ended in a no contest after both Fantasma and Texano Jr. escaped the cage at the same time.[11] On April 20, 2018, Kross return to AAA, aligning with Juventud Guerrera and Teddy Hart to attack Dr. Wagner Jr. and Hernandez.

Impact Wrestling (2018–2019)

[edit]

On the June 14, 2018 episode of Impact, Kesar, as Killer Kross, made his debut in a backstage segment posing as a police officer, arresting Petey Williams for being the suspected mystery X attacker who had been laying out talent and personnel backstage for several weeks. Once in a secluded area backstage, however, Kross attacked and choked a handcuffed Williams, revealing himself as the actual attacker.[15][16] Kross made his in-ring debut on the July 5 episode of Impact, defeating Fallah Bahh.[17] Two weeks later, Kross defeated Williams via referee stoppage after applying a choke hold.[18]

On the August 9 episode of Impact, Kross helped Austin Aries retain his Impact World Championship against Eddie Edwards, hitting the latter with a Saito Suplex following a ref bump.[19] Aries announced Kross as his "insurance policy" the following week.[20] The duo were joined by Moose, who betrayed Edwards during a tag team match on August 30.[21] At Bound for Glory on October 14, Kross and Moose were defeated by Edwards and Tommy Dreamer in an impromptu tag match. In the main event, Kross and Moose were in the corner of Aries as he lost the Impact World Championship to Johnny Impact.[22]

After his alliance with Aries ended, Kross entered a storyline with Impact, in which Kross told Impact that he needed him to keep up Impact's title run much longer. At Homecoming on January 6, 2019, Kross attacked both Impact and his wife Taya Valkyrie after the main event.[23] On the January 25 episode of Impact!, Kross challenged Impact for the World Championship, however, the match ended in a double disqualification.[24] At Impact Wrestling: Uncaged, Kross lost a fatal four-way for the title that also featured Moose and Brian Cage.[25] Kross then entered into a feud with Eddie Edwards in May after Kross destroyed a kendo stick that was gifted to Edwards by Tommy Dreamer.[26][27] This resulted in them wrestling in hardcore matches such as a street fight and first blood match.[27][28]

On May 13, it was reported that Kross asked for his release from Impact Wrestling following contract renegotiations. His issue stemmed from problems with his creative direction, as well as his current pay per appearance deal. He was not released at the time.[29] At Slammiversary XVII on July 7, Kross lost a first blood match to Eddie Edwards, where he reportedly refused to do a blade job and they used fake blood instead.[30] Reports indicated there was concern over "lack of blood testing and the absence of an on-site doctor."[31] Following that match, he was not booked to appear at the July, August or September television tapings and the two sides continued to negotiate.[32] It was reported that his contract was set to expire in December but that the company had the option to roll it over for another year.[30] In December, Impact Wrestling released Kross from his contract.[33]

[edit]

Kross made his debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW) at the Fightland event on February 1, 2020, where he defeated Tom Lawlor.[34]

WWE (2020–2021)

[edit]

Tryout (2015)

[edit]

Before signing with WWE, Kesar made a one-off appearance on the February 16, 2015, episode of Raw as Kevin Kross, where he teamed with Darren Young to face The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) in a match that resulted in a no contest.[35]

NXT (2020–2021)

[edit]

On the February 4, 2020 episode of WWE Backstage, it was confirmed that Kross had signed with WWE.[36] In the following weeks, mysterious video packages were shown that were later to be revealed about Kross, revealing his new look consisting of a shaved head and a goatee. On the April 8 episode of NXT, Kross and Scarlett (shortened from her former ring name Scarlett Bordeaux) were seen in a car watching Johnny Gargano following his match with Tommaso Ciampa.[37] The following week, Kross debuted by attacking Ciampa.[38] On the May 6 episode of NXT, under the new ring name Karrion Kross, he made his debut by defeating Leon Ruff in a squash match.[39] At TakeOver: In Your House on June 7, Kross defeated Ciampa via technical submission.[40] At TakeOver: XXX on August 22, he defeated Keith Lee to win the NXT Championship for the first time.[41] However, the following day, WWE announced that Kross had suffered a separated shoulder during the match, and on the August 26 episode of NXT, he vacated the title; this ended his reign at only 4 days, making it the shortest in the title's history.[42]

On the December 9 episode of NXT, Kross returned and attacked Damian Priest.[43] At New Year's Evil on January 6, Kross defeated Priest.[44] At the second night of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver on April 8, he defeated Finn Balor to win the NXT Championship for the second time.[45] On the May 25 episode of NXT, Kross retained the title against Balor in his first title defense.[46] On June 14 at In Your House, Kross successfully retained the championship by defeating Pete Dunne, Kyle O'Reilly, Johnny Gargano, and Adam Cole in a fatal 5-way match.[47] On the July 14 episode of NXT, Kross faced Gargano to defend the NXT Championship with Samoa Joe as guest referee where he successfully retained.[48] On August 22 at TakeOver 36, Kross lost the NXT Championship to Joe, suffering his first loss in NXT; this was his final match in NXT before he was moved to Raw.[49]

Raw and release (2021)

[edit]

While he was NXT Champion, Kross made his main roster debut on the July 19 episode of Raw, where he was defeated by Jeff Hardy in a non-title match, marking his first pinfall loss in WWE. Many critics and audiences complained that the result damaged the formidable character of Kross due to losing in less than two minutes.[50] According to Kross in an interview after his release, the match originally was supposed to last 10-minutes before being abruptly shortened to 90 seconds just after he made his entrance to the ring.[51] After losing the NXT Championship, Kross was transferred to Raw on its August 23 episode, performing without Scarlett and debuting a new look where he wore a gladiator helmet and suspenders in his entrance; his new attire and character direction was further criticized, with many deeming these changes unnecessary and poorly thought out.[52] WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley talked about WWE's problems, saying that Kross' character was "greatly watered down and even made a joke of when they debut on the main roster."[53] Foley's comments were supported by another WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T.[54] On November 4, Kross and Scarlett were released from their WWE contracts.[55]
