Former WWE Star Karrion Kross Criticizes WWE Creative Post-SummerSlam Plans

Karrion Kross, now performing as Killer Kross following his WWE departure in August 2025, has been vocal about his WWE exit and the creative frustrations he faced. He revealed that he was pulled from the 2025 Royal Rumble and that major WWE creative plans involving him after SummerSlam were abruptly canceled due to interference from others in creative, although he believes the storyline could be salvaged. Kross and his wife Scarlett Bordeaux, who also left WWE around the same time, have returned to the independent wrestling scene, with Scarlett resuming in-ring competition. Despite the setbacks, Kross remains optimistic about his career and hopes to work with WWE again, describing WWE as "home" despite the challenges. He also emphasized the importance of fair contract terms and respect in negotiations, noting that he and Scarlett do not necessarily have to be signed as a package deal but demand transparency and fairness. Former WWE star Matt Cardona has criticized Kross as being all theatrics ahead of their upcoming match at House of Glory, highlighting ongoing tensions and Kross's evolving career outside WWE.
