For the first time in five years, WWE returns to Pittsburgh for a premium live event, formerly referred to as pay-per-view events.

PPG Paints Arena will host “Payback” on Sept. 2. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.

One of the wrestlers you could see live is Karrion Kross.

In the ring he’s an intense individual with a menacing look in his eyes. Kross talked with the Trib about the origins of his character and how he wanted to stand out. He explained the collaboration that created the elaborate entrance he makes to the ring.

Plus, he hasn’t forgotten his first experience as a kid attending a WWE event.

All of this and more in the interview below:
