Karrion Kross has detailed his different experiences working on WWE Monday Night Raw compared to NXT.

Kross was called up to the main roster over the summer and has made his home on the red brand, having been a part of the NXT roster for a year. The two-time NXT Champion remained on Raw during the draft last week.

Kross has spoken about the difference between Raw and NXT, revealing how flexible and changeable the situation backstage on Monday nights can be.

Speaking on Table Talk, Kross said: "It's a completely different experience in the way that the show runs. The CWC, the day felt, in terms of how the show was laid out, felt very premeditated in terms of the direction we knew we were going to be going and everything was spaced out with time allotted. It just felt more concrete whereas with Raw, there are so many moving parts and a lot of things that are changing moment to moment.

"Being able to adapt and change on the fly, I don't want to necessarily say it was hard, it's more fun. I enjoy stuff like that and don't mind pressure whatsoever. Sometimes when you're backstage, certain things like time stuff gets extended or cut or things like that. For me, it's been really fun.

"I don't necessarily know if I observe the transition from NXT to Raw as necessarily hard or easy, it's just in general a really cool learning experience. To see how many people in comparison to CWC to Raw in terms of staff, there are wires around the entire place. How many people come together every Monday to put that show together from the ground up is incredible. It's very inspiring to see that many people working on that show. That's how I observe all of it. It is a totally different experience."
