“I think John Cena would probably be the match that I would most likely be interested in for the immediate future,” said Kross. Many of his contemporaries called out icons like The Rock and Brock Lesnar. Many fans want Kross and Scarlett vs The Fiend and Alexa Bliss in a supernatural rivalry.
Yet, Kross feels his dream match with Cena would have multiple layers into it.
“Working with John Cena on a really big stage, hopefully with people, would be awesome. I think it’s two different generations meeting. I attribute a lot of my modern-day inspiration to his generation.”
"Everyone has already called out @TheRock, Brock Lesnar. But having the opportunity work with @JohnCena would be awesome."
"I am only who I am, but maybe one day when the time is right. I'm humble about where I am."

Although Karrion Kross is yet to meet John Cena in person, he never fell short of praising the icon. The 16-time World Champion is termed as one of the hardest working people in WWE.
Kross even said, “He’s the reason why a lot of us have a job today. Personally, it would just be an honor to work with him.”
Karrion Kross believes John Cena and his match would have a great chemistry
Kross is a two-time NXT Champion and had worked in multiple promotions like Impact and Lucha Libre. However, he is yet to achieve the same stature as John Cena.
While talking, Kross clarified that he is not trying to elevate himself by “riding his coattails.”
