Kross shared a clip from his The Killer Part 2 documentary on Instagram today and reacted to fans chanting for him on SmackDown. The former NXT Champion noted that fans will get angry if they believe their voices aren't heard and also suggested that the company doesn't want to make its audience feel like they are no longer part of the show.

"You don’t want to make your audience feel like they’re not a part of this. You can’t tell them that they’re a part of this, and that they’re the universe, and they’re so heavily involved in every aspect of it, and then, like on a whim, tell them that certain subsections of them don’t matter. We can’t do that. That pisses people off. It turns people away," said Kross. [H/T: WrestleTalk]

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws show, Russo suggested that The Game didn't want Karrion Kross on the roster and that was why he waited until the last minute to offer him a contract. Karrion Kross revealed on The Ariel Helwani Show earlier this month that the company made him an offer but then rescinded it once he asked how they arrived at the number.

"So what does Hunter do? At the 12th hour, he makes an offer. So the beloved internet wrestling community knows I made him an offer. We made him an offer. We wanted him here. But the second Kross asks a legitimate question, how do you get to this? That's it. Offer off the table. I mean, bro, that's exactly what took place here," said Russo.
