Karrion Kross

Kevin Robert Kesar (born July 19, 1985), is an American professional wrestler. He is working as a freelancer, primarily for Major League Wrestling (MLW) under the ring name Killer Kross and is the current MLW World Heavyweight Champion. He also makes appearances on the independent circuit. He is best known for his tenures in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Karrion Kross. Prior to his tenure in WWE, Kesar performed for Impact Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), and multiple promotions on the independent circuit under the ring names Kevin Kross and Killer Kross. In AAA, he was a member of the MAD and La Facción Ingobernable stables. He has also appeared on season four of AAA's American project Lucha Underground as The White Rabbit, a member of Paul London's Rabbit Tribe stable. Kesar signed with WWE in February 2020 under the ring name Karrion Kross and began a winning streak on their NXT developmental brand that led him to winning the NXT Championship before having to relinquish it due to injury. Kross regained the title in April 2021 at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. After making his main roster debut on the Raw brand that July, his winning streak was immediately broken, he lost the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe the following month, and his on-screen character was subsequently altered. WWE released Kesar in November 2021 and began making appearances in various independent promotions, as well as brief appearances in Major League Wrestling (MLW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He returned to WWE in August 2022 and performed there until August 2025, when his contract expired.
