Triple H comments on Karrion Kross’ recovery from injury

Fans are waiting to see when Karrion Kross makes his return from injury and that also includes Triple H, who oversees the WWE NXT brand.

Kross suffered a separated shoulder when he beat Keith Lee to win the NXT Title at the NXT TakeOver: XXX event back in August. Since that time, there’s been no word on exactly when he’ll return.

While doing an interview with FOX Sports, Triple H was asked about the status of the former WWE NXT Champion.

“To quote him, ‘Tick tock, any second.’ Yeah, he’s there. He had one of those tricky injuries where you don’t know, and that was the difficult process for us.”

He noted that the separation was to a degree questionable and there were questions of does he get surgery or not and if he doesn’t would that speed up his recovery.

“But, he is a machine and that’s the one thing. The moment that he was injured and the moment the assessments were done, he was like, ‘Alright. Here’s what I’m going to do.’”

Triple H put him over for doing everything possible to get better during his NXT run before the injury. He praised him for being all in and sponge regarding the desire to learn more.

“He’s one of those guys that, again, you want to run through a brick wall for. But, he’ll run through the brick wall for himself. That’s the other thing. He’s not here to sit back and go, ‘Man, I hope this heals well.’ He’s going to. If it doesn’t heal well, it’s not on him. It’s not on lack of effort.  He did everything conceivable to get there and he’s ready to rock and roll. It’s just a timing thing now.”

Triple H also talked about Shotzi Blackheart, Pat McAfee, NXT TakeOver: WarGames, and more. The full interview can be found here.
