JBL has a serious reputation within the professional wrestling business. During his time in the industry, he was notorious as a locker room leader who would pull no punches. The WWE Hall of Famer isn’t an easy man to impress, but one member of the current WWE roster is managing to do exactly that.
JBL Has Nothing But Praise For Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross is the man of the hour in WWE right now, as he has been winning over the WWE Universe with his dedication to his character and the effort he’s putting in to get himself over.
Kross has taken his future into his own hands in many ways by creating unique and entertaining social media content to get eyes on himself and the storylines he’s part of on television.
That effort is something that JBL has taken notice of, as he explained during the latest episode of the Something to Wrestle” podcast. He said, “You can take your lot in life and you can just swallow it or you can say that’s my lot in life, but I’m gonna change that and he’s changing it.”

Karrion Kross is Pushing For More Opportunities
Ever since Kross returned to the company, he has struggled to be given a consistent push on the main roster. Even though he was handed his own faction with The Final Testament, things didn’t quite click for him.
While he’s had brief television angles against the likes of Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles, these haven’t developed into major moments for him as fans would like. However, Kross has consistently been an entertaining presence on every show.
Kross has mainly been used in backstage segments where his cryptic promos have helped to develop storylines for other talent, such as Styles’ WrestleMania feud against Logan Paul, The New Day’s heel turn, or Sami Zayn’s recent work.
The Doom Walker has proven his ability to make the most out of whatever he is given, taking full advantage of his minutes on television. Fans now want to see him in a more prominent spot, and with the WWE Universe fully behind him, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the creative to ignore him. Plus, having legends such as JBL vocally supporting him will not hurt Kross’ case either.
