10 Things You Need To Know About WWE's Newest Signing

Killer Kross is WWE's newest signing, as was first reported by Ryan Satin on WWE Backstage. For several weeks he was hyped as the hottest free agent in wrestling, and WWE won the war to land his signature.

While it's unknown where he will end up debuting, it is expected he will eventually appear in NXT first. However, either way, he is certainly someone who has the look and the talent to make things work on the main roster as well.

He is someone who fans are eagerly excited to see debut in WWE, but for those who aren't aware of who he is then this article will provide some more information on him. Here are 10 facts about Killer Kross.

10 Debut With GFW

Everyone has to make their mark somewhere in the wrestling business, and for Killer Kross (real name, Kevin Kesar), that moment came in 2015 for Global Force Wrestling.

This was the place where he made his debut and started to cut his teeth, with his first appearance coming at the GFW Amped show, losing to Bobby Roode in a tournament match.

He continued to work for the company a little longer, making an impact every time he appeared, clearly being someone that fans should be keeping an eye on for the future.

9 Competition From Other Places

WWE securing the signing of Killer Kross wasn't a simple situation that was going to be easy to do. As Ryan Satin revealed during WWE Backstage, there was a lot of competition from the wrestling world to sign Killer Kross.

Satin stated: "We are told the deal came together in recent weeks amidst interest from every major promotion."

This shows just how impressive of a signing this has the potential to be for WWE. Killer Kross is an amazing wrestler and if he's given the right push, he will be a big deal in WWE.

8 Short-Lived MLW Run

One company that was likely in the running to sign Killer Kross to a full-time deal was Major League Wrestling (MLW). Kross had recently made his debut for the company, but that now appears to just be a one-off appearance.

He performed for MLW back on February 1, 2020, just a few days before he was announced as WWE's latest signing. He competed and defeated, Tom Lawlor in an impressive showing, but one that clearly wasn't set to be a long-term deal.

7 Hit Man For Hire

Whether or not he brings the same style gimmick into WWE that he's had in the past remains to be seen, however, if he does then you can expect some form of a hitman to appear in WWE.

Killer Kross has previously been a dangerous man for hire that would take others out for the right price, which is certainly an interesting concept to add into NXT or WWE's main roster.

He is someone who is cold and calculated, yet when he needs to be he can flip a switch and become a total maniac that causes serious pain to others.

6 Use Of MMA

While a lot of professional wrestlers like to hit incredibly fancy 'indie' wrestling moves, a lot of Killer Kross' arsenal comes from the world of MMA. There's plenty of strikes in his game, and it really does work well with his character.

Killer Kross is someone who doesn't take any prisoners and inside the ring, he is brutal with his opponents. It is what makes him so engaging and unique to watch and will help set him apart from others in WWE right now.

5 Excellent Promo

Killer Kross is physically, very impressive and that no doubt caught the eye of WWE straight away. However, it is worth noting that he is also an incredibly gifted talker who can cut a fantastic promo.

This is something that arguably makes him stand out even more, as there aren't many wrestlers in the world who are known for being incredible talkers. It's not an easy skill to learn, but it is one that Killer Kross has got.

Whether it's the main roster or NXT, there is no doubt Killer Kross will bring his microphone skills with him to the WWE.

4 He Draws From Movies

Killer Kross comes to WWE with a ready-made gimmick that feels unique, is unlike anything else in the company and has a lot of potential to be a big hit. One of the reasons for that is that he draws from movies and novels to get inspiration.

Kross is someone who is always looking to stay one step ahead of the game and his character work is a big part of that. He has stated in the past that films are a big inspiration for what he does, which is why it works so well on television.

So, whenever he does arrive, expect a dramatic entrance and a big moment as he gives fans a glimpse into his psychotic mind.

3 Leaving IMPACT

Something many fans might want to know about Killer Kross is he doesn't mince his words or hold back his thoughts, no matter the situation. When he left IMPACT Wrestling, he was very clear about the reason behind it.

Kross has not been quiet about his feelings towards the company, making it clear he was initially after a new deal with them, for more money. However, IMPACT wasn't interested in meeting what he was after, which brought an end to their relationship.

He has since gone out and spoken candidly about the situation, which is quite refreshing for a professional wrestler, as that's not something that happens much.

2 White Rabbit

While Killer Kross is best known for his role at IMPACT Wrestling, he also had a major role within Lucha Underground. The show was highly praised for its in-ring talent and unique way of telling stories and Kross was a part of that.

His character was known as The White Rabbit in Lucha Underground where he did work alongside Paul London, the former WWE Superstar.

Killer Kross actually gave London his wooden scepter at one point in the show and ordered him to murder Mascarit Sagrada for leading the Rabbit Tribe to his lair, proving what sort of a complex character he can be.

1 His Partner Is With WWE

When Killer Kross really began bursting onto the scene he did so alongside his real-life girlfriend, Scarlett Bordeaux. The duo bounce off each other incredibly well within the ring, with their gimmicks meshing nicely.

Thankfully, WWE has got the opportunity to put that out to the world as Scarlett is also signed with WWE. She actually signed with the company first, reporting to the WWE Performance Center.

The chances are high that they will be presented together whenever they are brought out to debut in WWE, and that should create an incredibly exciting prospect.
