Kevin Kesar (born July 19, 1985 in New York City) is an American professional wrestler most known by the ring name Killer Kross, an edgier derivative of his initial moniker of Kevin Kross.He debuted in Season 4 of Lucha Underground as The White Rabbit, the leader of the Rabbit Tribe.He was signed by WWE in 2020 under yet the subtle-yet-still-edgy derivative ring name of Karrion Kross, where he dominated NXT, eventually becoming NXT Champion. He was called up to RAW in 2021, where the atrocious booking he was subjected to became one of the most heavily-criticised moves WWE had made for a long time, before he was summarily released on the 4th of November 2021 in the latest round of mass talent cuts. However, he would return to WWE in August 2022, shortly after Vince McMahon's retirement from the company, reverting to his dominant NXT self. | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse: "He is time, famine, war, pestilence you cannot endure." Time instead of death? Wait, no. The next lyric in that says "The end is here" and he's always talking about Doomsday. The "time" in question in that lyric is in fact death. | |

Wicked Cultured: When he speaks, you can tell he's clearly thought through his doomsday philosophy, and for promos he'll usually be dressed up in leather, shades, and/or a nice suit. Doesn't make him any less of a savage monster when it's time to fight. | |

Cool Shades | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_1dea3034 | comment |
As the White Rabbit, to Gangrel; both being sinister wrestlers who wear Cool Shades, have little to no backstories regarding their pasts, brainwashed at least one member to the fold (El Bunny for the White Rabbit and Christian for Gangrel), wear outdated outfits and convinced a third member to join them. The only difference between these two is that Gangrel was a vampire, whereas the White Rabbit was Ambiguously Human with some supernatural abilities. | |

| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: His role as the White Rabbit and his connections to the Rabbit Tribe in Lucha Underground. Just who or what the White Rabbit was has never been explained. Where did he get the name White Rabbit? How was he capable of levitation? His relationship to Mascarita Sagrada, considering that Mascarita brought the Rabbit Tribe to see him and then accepted the idea of being bludgeoned to death by Paul London. Was Mascarita brainwashed by the White Rabbit? Was the entire situation with Mascarita all according to some big plan? | |

The Dreaded | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Intimidated everybody in Impact Wrestling with the exception of Johnny Impact and Eddie Edwards. Within three moves in his NXT debut, he already had Tom Phillips calling him Satan. After being squashed by both Kross in his debut match where the above three moves happened, and by Kross's first pay-per-view opponent Tommaso Ciampa a week or two later, Leon Ruff described how facing Ciampa had him scared for his career... but facing Kross had him scared for his life. Later intimidated everybody in NXT with the exception of Scarlett, to the point the latter's appearance with an hourglass left NXT Champion Adam Cole clutching his championship in fear. Read that again: less than two months into his tenure, Karrion Kross is so scary that the greatest NXT Champion of all time is terrified at the sight of his girlfriend. Inverted with Samoa Joe, as he made Kross and Scarlett shut up in his presence and dared them to provoke him, which they wisely refused to do. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Karrion/Carrion is the decaying flesh of the dead. It also sounds fairly similar to Charon, The Ferryman of the dead in Classical Mythology. In Kross's pre-Performance Center days, they'd called him The Tollman (among other things) and bestowed upon him the moniker of Killer. Additionally, his pre-debut imagery incorporated vultures, which are also known as carrion birds. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: With Scarlett in tow, he had several for every stage of his NXT debut. First vignette introduces his ominous fare about doomsday and the end complete with stock videos amid his own scenes. First in-show appearances involve stalking Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa during their feud, before finally pouncing after the feud is over by violently throwing Ciampa around the backstage area. First match was the debut of his intimidating "Dead Silent" entrance with Scarlett as well as the aforementioned three-move squash that had Leon Ruff claiming he was scared for his life and Tom Philips literally calling him the damned Devil. During his re-appearance on the main roster he viciously assaulted Drew McIntyre and had Scarlett leave an hourglass in the ring for Roman Reigns. In Lucha Underground, he asks London what he wanted and what London would do for it. London asked for "his guidance" and would do anything the White Rabbit asked of him. Then came the moment he commanded Paul London, levitating his staff to London's hands, to kill Mascarita Sagrada and laughed at the carnage. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Sounds all philosophical and cultured in his villainy, but one look at how his face nearly always veers into either Mad Eye or Slasher Smile territory and there is no question in the world that he is a complete psychopath. Amped up in Lucha Underground, as his debut vignette had him speaking in a soft tone and seeming like a calm guru until he told London to "kill the one [Mascarita] who brought you to me" and all hell broke loose. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: A rear naked choke called the "Kross Jacket" (though before he got signed to WWE, his Kross Jacket is originally a modified RNC instead of the standard version he uses today). He also uses either a Saito Suplex called the "Doomsday Saito" or a running forearm smash to the back of the opponent's head or neck (which he debuted in NXT, with Michael Cole coining the name "Kross Hammer" on SmackDown) if he prefers to win by pinfall. In his feud against AJ Styles, he introduced a pumphandle F5-like maneuver which is called the "Final Prayer". As the White Rabbit, Down The Rabbit Hole, a mandible claw submission. | |

You Don't Look Like You: This goes back and forth. He had hair when his career started, but by the time he debuted in Impact Wrestling and then WWE, he was bald through and through. Fast forward to his 2022 return, whether first seen in MLW and NJPW Strong early on or in WWE over the summer, he becomes nearly unrecognizable before he speaks due to having grown his hair again beforehand. The only cue to recognizing him on SmackDown is the hourglass his valet Scarlett carries, which also doubles as his gimmick item from NXT. | |

Xtreme Kool Letterz: Kross is spelled with an K as an intentional match with Kevin, with the nickname of Killer also matching this. Karrion is spelled with a K as an intentional match with Kross. | |

Expy: Of Dexter Lumis, who ironically was radically altered following Kross's debut on the main roster. Which has led to a bit of a Fandom Rivalry between the two wrestlers fanbases. As the White Rabbit, to Gangrel; both being sinister wrestlers who wear Cool Shades, have little to no backstories regarding their pasts, brainwashed at least one member to the fold (El Bunny for the White Rabbit and Christian for Gangrel), wear outdated outfits and convinced a third member to join them. The only difference between these two is that Gangrel was a vampire, whereas the White Rabbit was Ambiguously Human with some supernatural abilities. | |

Devil in Plain Sight | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_f273b1cb | comment |
Devil in Plain Sight: Speaking of Brian Cage, they've had history since Future Stars of Wrestling. When they feuded over the FSW Heavyweight Championship, Kross was cheered over Cage because the champion's commitments in other places meant he wasn't there every week (sound familiar?). Both Kross and FSW's authority figure warned repeatedly that he came with bad intentions and they'd be better off supporting Cage than treating Kross as a savior. This is before he was upgraded to Killer. | |

The Corrupter | |
| Karrion Kross (Wrestling) / int_fe6c146e | comment |
The Corrupter: To Impact World Champion Johnny Impact and his wife Taya Valkyrie. He tried to get Johnny to form an alliance with him, but Johnny repeatedly rejected it... until the challenge of Brian Cage came looming. The Mayor of Slamtown and La Wera Loca agreed at that point to accept Kross's help in setting Cage up for an injurious blindside attack. In Lucha Underground, The Rabbit Tribe were loony but ultimately harmless before they met him. He promptly had Paul London commit murder. London's fanatical devotion spiralled out of control from there and resulted in him offering up Mala Suerte and Saltador to Matanza, something that the White Rabbit never asked him to do...and didn't particularly care about afterward. In WWE, Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura are turned heel in late 2023 after facing Kross, and AJ Styles seems to be walking on the same path too (if not a tweener as an alternative finally turned heel at 2024 Elimination Chamber). Inverted towards Rey Mysterio not turning heel, though Kross take credit of making Rey to be more willing to hit Dom in front of his wife (and the latter's mother). Kross explained these in his 12/22/2023 promo, along with his predictions about The Bloodline's implosion and Rey becoming more willing to hurt his son. | |
