Fightful Select has learned that the former NXT Champion and former Karrion Kross, Killer Kross, is headed into the acting world. Those that we've spoken to about the matter have confirmed that Kross has landed a lead role in an action movie that begins filming in 2022. We've yet to gain info on a title, director, or shooting location, but will work to learn more info.

This is not the first time Karrion Kross (real name Kevin Kesar) has taken the step into acting, as the 36-year-old appeared on the show 'Before The Dark' several years before signing with WWE.

Kross isn't the only wrestler released by WWE this year to be making the move to acting, as Bray Wyatt has also, according to reports, landed a Hollywood movie role.
