Karrion Kross nearly worked with Bray Wyatt.
Kross and Wyatt never crossed paths on WWE, but their respective characters had similar elements and themes, leaning into more dark and supernatural elements.
Unfortunately, Wyatt passed away on August 24. Kross and a group of WWE talent and crew paid tribute by getting a "Firefly" tattoo following WWE SmackDown on August 25.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Kross revealed that we was slated to work with Wyatt at WrestleMania 39.
"We were supposed to work last WrestleMania and nobody knew that except for a collection of writers and people in the office. We were slated to do something. We would talk for hours about how we want to get into it, what we wanted to deliver creatively for people. Where we thought we both needed to be. We had ideas with Alexa [Alexa Bliss], Bo [Bo Dallas], Scarlett. Everything happened the way it did. He left a mark on anybody and everybody he ever met. It's just very strange the way everything played out. Beautiful and tragic. He was always an inspiration to me and showed everybody warmth," he said.
WWE was building a program between Wyatt and Bobby Lashley going into WrestleMania 39 before health issues took Wyatt off television.
Kross is currently part of WWE SmackDown.
