Former WWE NXT Superstar Killer Kross is set to make his debut for NJPW 

Killer Kross is set to make his strong debut at the New Japan Pro Wrestling at the Lonestar Shootout event in Dallas on April 1.

Kross’s debut was announced on social media on Tuesday, including a video where he was seen attacking some unnamed trainees at a gym. Kross explained that he has earned his name with his accomplishments both in and out of the ring before claiming that his new chapter starts in Dallas.

His video ended with calling a calling out of NJPW legend Minoru Suzuki and his “tick-tock” catchphrase.
