Former WWE writer comments on Karrion Kross' loss at Night of Champions 2025

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently suggested that the politics of professional wrestling were on full display during Karrion Kross' loss to Sami Zayn at Night of Champions last weekend.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown show, Russo stated that Zayn was receiving preferential treatment by the promotion due to his relationships backstage. The legend noted that Kross was not popular backstage and that politics resulted in him taking the loss at the PLE.

"That is the politics of professional wrestling. Sami Zayn is in favor, and Karrion Kross is not. It's that simple, bro." He continued, "Hundred percent of a hundred people would say Kross is the star. Their roles are flipped because Zayn's in favor and Kross is not. It's that simple." [From 27:37 onwards]
