Nope..something is wrong..undefeated the whole time in nxt to get beat in under 2 minutes? Complete opposite of Rhea being protected in the main event.I like how the internet is pretending that...
A: Hardy didn't pin this guy with feet on the ropes... aka a fluke
and B: the endgame in this isn't gonna be Jeff gettin choked TF out...
Vince and his boys reminding these KKKliq fakkits that they're never gonna run the company
On last night’s episode of Raw, the undefeated NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his main roster debut, and immediately lost in a couple of minutes to Jeff Hardy.
Unsurprisingly, fans have slammed this piece of baffling booking, with many asking why on earth you would have your NXT Champion lose their first match to a midcard guy in such an uninspiring way.
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select’s Raw review, he received a text from an NXT source which said Kross’ lost “felt like a message being sent” to NXT directly from Vince McMahon.
Sapp added that he thinks Vince “does not give a damn about NXT”, so this kind of booking may come as no surprise to a lot of people within WWE. We’d like to make it clear that this is just what Sapp has heard from a source.
It was also noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Charlotte’s run with the NXT Women’s Championship appears to have been removed from her title reigns tally, as she was called an 11-time champion, rather than a 12-time champion which would include the NXT title.
It isn’t clear what WWE has in store for Kross on the main roster, but let’s all hope it’s more than what we saw this week

Fluke what for a debut nxt champion? Come on..they didn't do that shyt to Finn or Owens...So you gonna ignore that it was a fluke win and Jeff probably gets fukked up big time next week... ok...

Yes I agree about the entrance part . I’m hoping they look to make him look great at summerslam with scarlet and everything. If not he gonna be in trouble . Kross needs to wrestle better tho which is my biggest concern for him . He looks like he should wrestle like joe but he is kinda weak offensivelyYou right.
An undefeated streak is often an anchor around a characters neck. They rarely work out for the character if dragged too long.
Unless they’ve got some REALLY strong writing for when/how and why they lose the first one.
First impressions are very important though. Especially when they move these guys from
NXT
The loss was not an issue in my view, Jeff Hardy cheating to win gives Kross has all kinds of incentives to be pissed off.
the fact they stripped away just about everything that made him special and sent him out there like “good luck kid” is the problem.
Had he had his entrance, bells and whistles and Jeff gets the surprise drop on him I dont think we’re even discussing it because it could be chalked up to over confidence in thinking he’d buzz saw the main roster like he’s doing NXT
you one of those, huh?
I was one too. Nah Karen fukked. you don't do the NXT champ like that. I'm sorry. especially one that looks that generic took away his dime piece, and was the one who ran through everyone in NXT with ease more so that Kevin Owens did.
