Karrion Kross is ready to climb a massive step in his WWE ascent.
In order to do that, Kross needs a run as NXT Champion. He meets reigning champ Keith Lee in the main event of Saturday’s NXT TakeOver XXX, though at first glance, the timing does not appear to be working in his favor.
Kross has only been part of the NXT roster since February, and he is still building an aura and mystique around his character. Lee only won the title a month ago, defeating Adam Cole during the Great American Bash special in July.
