Karrion Kross was supposed to get a huge push during his debut run on the main roster. As a Triple H project on NXT, he ended up becoming a two-time NXT Champion within a barely six-month tenure. However, he was made to wear a helmet after coming to the main roster and also lost his debut match against Jeff Hardy in seconds that marked the downfall of his WWE career.
Down the road, WWE released Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux before they could even prove their potential on the main roster. As seen on this past week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, the duo eventually returned and immediately blindsided Drew McIntyre with an ambush. Afterward, Kross also made it clear he is coming after the two world titles held by Roman Reigns.

Reports coming out of Smackdown are that Karrion Kross is obviously signed with the WWE for a lengthy contract and he will be heavily featured in the main event scene on Friday nights. In fact, WWE will drastically push him to the main event picture.
According to Fightful, Karrion Kross could be inserted into the ongoing feud between Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns that is set to produce a championship match at Clash at the Castle. A pitch has also been made for the returnee to get involved in a match for only one of Reigns’ world titles, instead of going after both.
“We’ve also heard of a specific pitch within creative and one of the reasons for it. Among the pitches we’ve learned is that Kross would be inserted into the Drew McIntyre-Roman Reigns feud and be involved in a match for one of Roman Reigns’ world titles, as opposed to both.”
Karrion Kross returned to WWE from indie scene
Following his release from the WWE in spring 2021, Karrion Kross went back to his Killer Kross days and started working for independent promotions including EC3 and Braun Strowman’s Control Your Narrative. There have been rumors of him moving to AEW or Impact Wrestling but that didn’t happen.
In the meantime, Vince McMahon left his position in the WWE and Triple H became the head booker. He was pretty quick in bringing back Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux. With the right booking, Kross can surely become a main-event guy on the blue brand and with Triple H in charge, we believe it’s just a matter of time before he finds the right way.
