Killer Kross revealed that during his final year with WWE he was often off television but still tried to learn by watching and listening backstage. He said he made a point of sitting near production and talent to pick up knowledge, but that curiosity may have prompted the company to impose new limits on his access and involvement.

Kross suggested that his efforts to absorb backstage information did not go unnoticed and may have contributed to tighter rules around where he could sit and what he could hear. The former NXT star framed the restrictions as a byproduct of him trying to learn the business rather than a reflection of his work on screen.
