Karrion Kross FINALLY reveals why he targeted Sami Zayn ahead of their WWE match
WWE Superstars Karrion Kross and Sami Zayn are set to clash at Night of Champions. Ahead of their bout, the former NXT Champion disclosed why he has always targeted his opponent.
The Underdog from the Underground suffered a huge loss to Randy Orton on last week's SmackDown. He failed to defeat The Viper and punch his spot in the King of the Ring Tournament final. Later, on the June 23 episode of RAW, Karrion Kross confronted the 40-year-old veteran backstage and asserted that he would never become a World Champion. Sami Zayn responded with a punch and claimed he would meet Kross in the ring at Night of Champions PLE.
During the Night of Champions Kickoff Show, the 39-year-old WWE star explained that he always targeted Zayn because he was a liar. Karrion Kross believed that the former Intercontinental Champion's "good guy" persona was a deception, having witnessed him commit terrible acts.
"I always targeted you for one simple reason. It's because I believe that you are a liar! I think this whole thing of you being a good guy is a charade because I've seen you do terrible, terrible things to people. And if there's one thing that I hate most in this world, is a liar," he said. [From 00:04 to 00:30]

Karrion Kross vows to beat Sami Zayn at WWE Night of Champions
In the same kickoff show, The Herald of Doomsday declared he would decisively beat his opponent. He envisioned pinning Sami Zayn after a specific maneuver, securing a three-count from the referee.
Karrion Kross believes this victory would bring him deserved validation and reveal his honesty regarding the WWE RAW star to everyone.
"Sami, tomorrow night at Night of Champions, when I'm standing across from you, I'm going to put my arm through the back of your head. And the referee is going to count 1, 2, 3, and in that moment, I'll get the validation that I deserve. Everyone will know, I've always told the truth, especially about you," he added. [From 00:52 to 01:22]
Fans will have to wait and see whether Kross gets a huge win over Zayn at the premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on June 28.
