Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently commented on Karrion Kross' loss to Sami Zayn at WWE Night of Champions 2025.

Speaking on this past Monday's edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, the veteran wondered why the company was fascinated with Sami Zayn. Russo claimed that Karrion Kross and Scarlett could be major stars in the promotion, but the company decided to push Zayn instead.

"I don't know what it is with this fascination, bro, with Sami Zayn that they're putting him over Kross at Night of Champions. For what? You're gonna tell me you look at Sami Zayn and you look at the package with Kross and Scarlett, and you're gonna tell me the money's in Sami Zayn? Like, bro, I swear, you've gotta be brain dead. There was no reason in the world for Kross to lose that match." [From 31:45 onwards]
