Karrion Kross's WWE Future Uncertain After Rant

Karrion Kross's popularity has surged following his viral rant at WrestleMania 41, where he publicly expressed frustration over not having a match and his role in WWE, earning a backstage standing ovation. The incident has led to increased merchandise sales and stronger crowd reactions, with fans now seeing him as an underdog limited by the company. Kross has also criticized the leak of his contract details and expressed disappointment over WWE's release of his stablemates, The Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering. While he has faced some backstage heat, Kross remains intent on connecting authentically with fans and seeks greater creative freedom.

It is unclear whether WWE will leverage his current momentum or if Kross will explore opportunities elsewhere.
