Top 5 potential feuds for Karrion Kross after NXT New Year's Evil

#2 Karrion Kross vs. Kyle O'Reilly

Much like Karrion Kross, Kyle O'Rielly has a lot of momentum on his side right now. He competed in the main event of the past two NXT TakeOver shows. He has also challenged Finn Balor for the NXT Championship in two remarkable matches. Their bout at NXT Takeover 31 won NXT's Match of the Year Award. O'Reilly earned a rematch at NXT New Year's Evil.

But the former NXT Tag Team Champion came out on the losing side of both contests. In order to keep O'Reilly's momentum going, WWE should put him in a feud against another major star. Karrion Kross might be the opponent he needs. "The Herald of Doomsday" is undefeated so far, but O'Reilly could try to break his intimidating streak.

Plus, many fans would like to see this feud. O'Reilly might seem like the underdog in this potential match, but he could hold his own against Kross. It would be a treat to see these two stars battle in what could be the most technical and stiff wrestling match of the year.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
