Before The Judgment Day became a fixture in WWE, Karrion Kross had his own vision built around the idea of judgment. In a recent video reflecting on his WWE exit, Kross revealed he once pitched a faction focused on holding people accountable for their past actions.

“Nothing we do is unjust, all are guilty and hand of time decides the judgment.”
“So, before Judgment Day was the thing I was pitching a group and a faction based on targeting people who have done bad things throughout their life,” Kross said. “The quote on the back of that shirt was going to be the thing we were all going to say. So it just became a shirt, but it’s still one of my favorites.”
Kross and Scarlett confirmed their WWE departure on August 11, with their contracts expiring. While his “Judgment” idea never made it past the pitch stage, Kross later led The Final Testament with Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering. That faction’s run ended after a WrestleMania XL match against The Pride, followed by the releases of AOP and Ellering.
