WWE President Nick Khan admitted that he told NXT Booker Shawn Michaels to accelerate talent growth in developmental. Following a wave of releases for veteran WWE Superstars, many NXT talents were recently called up to the main roster. These graduations have left a big hole in NXT, opening the door for the big man, Mason Rook, to make a splash (literally). As John Cena said, “He’s big. He’s bad. He’ll Slam your Dad!” Here’s Mason Rook’s weight, height, and other wrestling stats for Will Kroos.
Will Kroos Becomes Mason Rook in WWE
Will Kroos made his debut in WWE a couple of weeks after WrestleMania 42. The Worksop, England native immediately aligned himself with Kam Hendrix. During his debut, the mammoth of a man took out Tony D’Angelo.
Fans were in awe of the sheer size and brutality of the future top star. They were worked into an even bigger frenzy when the athletic big boy scaled the ropes with ease for a Springboard Moonsault.
After weeks of attacking Tony D’Angelo on Kam Hendrix’s behalf, it was later revealed that the journeyman wrestler will compete in NXT under the name of Mason Rook. Mason Rook signed his first NXT contract on the CW Network, ending in a melee where the high-flyer took a crowd of security guards out with a Moonsault to the outside of the ring!
Mason Rook Eyes Tony D’Angelo’s NXT Championship
Mason Rook would team with Kam Hendrix in Will Kroos’ WWE debut match against Tony D’Angelo and Myles Borne. Kam Hendrix would pick up the victory over Borne, potentially securing a future NXT North American Championship Match. However, Kam Hendrix may have some bigger fish to fry first. That’s because Mason Rook attacked Kam Hendrix on the same night of their victory, breaking the big man off onto his own path.
This week’s NXT, Mason Rook will have the opportunity to earn a shot against Tony D’Angelo at the Great American Bash. New NXT Superstar Mason Rook will face off against new NXT Superstar Naraku. Naraku is the new husband of Iyo Sky. The two are gearing up for a massive summer. Not only are they newlyweds, but WWE has huge plans for Iyo Sky at Night of Champions and SummerSlam.
Nonetheless, WWE also has massive plans for Mason Rook. In fact, they replaced Brock Lesnar on new marketing materials with the NXT standout. It takes a big boy to replace a Beast Incarnate. So, how big is Mason Rook? Let’s take a closer look!
Mason Rook’s Weight, Height, and Birthday
WWE is investing in the future, and they see a bright one for Mason Rook. Born on October 28, 1996, the 29-year-old British Superstar has just under 10 years of experience. Will Kroos made his debut for Hope Wrestling in 2017.
The future Mason Rook traveled around the British independent wrestling circuit. He would find a home in Progress Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH before signing with NXT earlier this year.
What makes Mason Rook stand out is his unique look. From the babyface to the messy mullet, he’s quite a sight to behold.
Mason Rook is known for his agility and athleticism. This makes the NXT upstart living proof that you should not judge a book by its cover. To many, Mason Rook’s weight would be a hindrance. However, the strong man embraces it.
Mason Rook’s weight is billed at 185kg, which is 408 pounds. While being over 400 pounds can cause significant wear and tear on the body, Mason Rook has the height to offset some of it. Mason Rook’s height is 193 cm, or 6’4.”
