Joe said, “Karrion Kross, without a doubt, extremely dominating force. He’s run through everybody they put in front of him. He’s been an absolute beast of a champion. I mean, just hits hard, throws harder, and I’m going to beat the breaks off him (laughs).”

He continued, “I’m gonna put all the hands on. I don’t know when I’m gonna do it. But I just know this, it’s going to be a lot of pummeling and strikes around to the head and face area. I’m gonna probably do my best not to wear out my right foot when I’m whipping his a** with it all over the ring.”
The master of the Coquina Clutch looks hell-bent on destroying Kross at TakeOver. It’s not surprising given the latter’s actions in recent weeks. Karrion Kross may have overcome the who’s who of NXT in his dominant run as champion. But he’s never faced an enraged beast ready for a war like Samoa Joe.
