MLW and ROH have good but limited rosters. NJPW has a good roster but most of any potential matches for Kross would be the same - matches filled with hard strikes and suplexes. NJPW does offer great in-ring action, but they put less of an emphasis on character work than companies like Impact, AEW and WWE do.

AEW now rivals WWE as a potential destination for talented names in the industry, but they too also have a limited roster. Most of the stars are the size of Daniel Bryan or Seth Rollins - i.e. around six feet tall and anywhere between 180 and 220 pounds. Outside of guys like Jake Hager, Wardlow, Jon Moxley, Dustin Rhodes and Luchasaurus, there are not many stars who could be believable threats to the 6'3", 250-pound Kross.

WWE does have a roster full of guys around Bryan and Rollins' size, but they also have several other stars that are much bigger. Guys like Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman are physical matches for Kross in one aspect or another. Then there's the likes of The New Day, The Fiend, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rollins and Brock Lesnar.

That's a truly diverse roster full of several smaller and physical guys along with several stars that are of similar size or bigger than Kross. When we take out the physical side and add in the character work, there also exist logical feuds of the mind in WWE for Kross. I envision him eventually going to task against The Fiend, The New Day, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins and Samoa Joe, just verbally.

The simple fact is that WWE still offers up the biggest variety of dream match-ups or pairings that would suit Kross much better.
