Karrion Kross and Scarlett are officially back on WWE NXT. This week’s episode of the show opened up with a segment featuring Finn Balor who wanted to turn the attention toward himself following WarGames matches. Plenty of people showed as they wanted to be the next in line to have a shot at his title, but then one man really stood out.
Damian Priest, Pete Dunne, and Kyle O’Reilly gathered in the ring with Finn Balor during WWE NXT’s opening as they wanted a shot at Balor’s NXT Title. Finn Balor cut a promo and then left the ring mentioning that he will defend the NXT Title on January 6th, but it’s up to William Regal to decide his next challenger.

Suddenly, Karrion Kross’ music hit but his girlfriend Scarlett came out. Finn Balor then instructed Scarlett to pass a message to Kross that he is ready to fight. Then Damian Priest called out Scarlett mentioning her as the “Smoke Show” before asking if Karrion Kross waits in the car every time so that she can handle his business. Priest also threw an open challenge, whenever he’s ready.

WWE NXT: Karrion Kross And Scarlett Make Triumphant Return
Scarlett didn’t say anything rather than smiling and walking away indicating it’s a matter of time that Karrion Kross would show up. Later the night, Priest was heading to the ring to confront Austin Theory and new NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano. But he didn’t realize that someone was waiting for him.
Karrion Kross then destroyed Priest on the stage and left him laying near a production area. He then walked to the parking lot and got into his car, where Scarlett was waiting. He drove the car away as WWE NXT went back to commercial. As of now, a match between Kross and Priest hasn’t been confirmed but it should happen, very soon.
Karrion Kross remained out of action since suffering a separated shoulder during his WWE NXT Title win over Keith Lee at the “Takeover: XXX” event on August 23 during the 2020 SummerSlam Weekend. He had to relinquish the title on the August 26 episode after which Balor won the vacant title. Kross’ return was first hinted, this past Sunday during the 2020 NXT Takeover: WarGames event.
