Karrion Kross Suffered Possible Shoulder Injury At NXT TakeOver XXX
Karrion Kross’ NXT Championship win was bittersweet.
Kross suffered a separated shoulder during his main event title win over Keith Lee at NXT Takeover XXX, according to Triple H on the post-show media call. Triple H was asked if Kross was just good at his job or if he was really injured, and HHH said he wishes he could say that but it’s looking like a separated shoulder and they’ll learn more soon.
HHH said he knew it was hurt and the medical team kept an eye on things but they felt like he could continue with the match. He also put over Kross as being a tough guy and said there’s not much else he can say about the situation other than that.
“It’s bittersweet because he’s ecstatic in the moment, he is excited in the moment. This is a dream come true for both him and Scarlett. They have worked an entire career to get to this moment. I can tell you that from the bottom of his heart and I’ve had that conversation since the first day. So to him, to get here in talking to him earlier in the day, what he almost felt like was this crazy, surreal moment where the two of them, both he and Scarlett, kept saying, ‘it’s hard for us to believe we’re in here in this moment and it’s hard for us to even envision that we are like they kept waiting for it to change today or for something to happen that would change everything. Then you get to that moment with the uncertainty of something like this in the end, and my heart breaks for him. I know everybody here does, but we’ll see where he’s at. They’re going through everything and as soon as we can get them in a facility, we’ll get them an MRI and then we’ll see where everything goes. Hopefully it’s it’s not too crazy and we can figure out how to work around it or work through it or whatever that is.”
