Karrion Kross is an American professional wrestler. He has worked for wrestling promotions WWE, AAA Wrestling, Lucha Underground, and Impact Wrestling. He is also known as Kevin Kross, Killer Kross, and The White Rabbit.

He is the son of Debra and amateur wrestler Ted Concepcion. Karrion has stated that his father moved to New York from Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, and has “Puerto Rican, Central American, Italian and Greek” ancestry.
