The Bloodline came out in the main event segment of the post-SummerSlam 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns gave props to his bitter rival Brock Lesnar for putting up the fight of a lifetime in the Last Man Standing Match at Summerslam 2022.
Drew McIntyre then came out and asked the crowd if they wanted him to destroy The Bloodline right there. At this juncture, the lights went out and we saw Karrion Kross’ entrance music being played on the tron. Scarlett then came out and posed on the ramp while Kross attacked McIntyre from behind. Kross then had a staredown with Reigns to end WWE Smackdown.

The shocking return has reportedly changed the landscape of WWE Smackdown as there’s a new challenger available for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. PWInsider reports that both Kross and Scarlett have been added to the official WWE roster. Additionally, it was noted that Kross will be slotted as the number 2 heel on the roster just behind Roman Reigns.

Karrion Kross to be a top villain on WWE Smackdown
Setting up another credible heel on the WWE SmackDown brand is a long-needed thing since Roman Reigns is working on a limited schedule. Since Wrestlemania 38, he doesn’t appear on TV every week. But we should expect Kross and Scarlett to appear each week, starting from now.
It was added by the source that Kross and Scarlett were in regular communication with WWE after the couple was released from the company on November 4th, 2021. Kross previously indicated that he could return to the WWE and then Triple H becoming the new leader has worked in his favor.
As for Scarlett, it was stated that much like NXT days, she is currently slated to manage her real-life husband since WWE has no separate plans for her. But down the road, the expectation is that she might end up being a wrestler on WWE Smackdown.
PWInsider also noted that Kross and Scarlett will be able to complete their already listed independent bookings as soon as possible while appearing on WWE Smackdown. This is because the couple’s return to the company was put together in a quick fashion. Kross could also end up getting added adding to the Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre match at Clash at the Castle 2022 for Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, making it a triple threat bout.
