The Herald of Doomsday was one of the most dominant NXT Champions of all time. Since his WWE return last month, he has been thrust into a main event storyline with Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. A large part of his wrestling persona is his MMA style in the ring. This includes his finisher, the Kross Jacket, which is a sleeper hold similar to those used in the Octagon.
Kross recently gave an interview to El Brunch de WWE, where he discussed a variety of subjects. He spoke about how superheroes intrigued him about professional wrestling and also how watching TV got him into martial arts. He had this to say about the latter -
Karrion Kross would go on to say that he took classes for Sambo, a Russian martial art, which takes its inspiration from Karate and Judo. He would be well versed in martial arts by the time he started pursuing a wrestling career.
