WWE Releases New Karrion Kross Merchandise Amid Contract Uncertainty

John Cena recently referenced former WWE stars including Matt Cardona during a SmackDown promo ahead of their match at Night of Champions, prompting Cardona to release new merchandise themed around the shoutout. Meanwhile, Karrion Kross, whose WWE contract is reportedly set to expire this summer amid ongoing negotiation uncertainties, has seen a surge in merchandise releases, including t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and tank tops, signaling potential plans to keep him on the roster despite rumors of his departure. Kross's merchandise, particularly from the ProSphere collection, has been selling well, reflecting growing fan support even as he has been featured mostly in backstage segments and limited in-ring appearances throughout the year. His recent storyline tensions with Sami Zayn and sporadic matches have kept interest alive, though his future with WWE remains uncertain. These merchandise drops may indicate WWE's attempt to capitalize on Kross's rising popularity or influence contract discussions as his deal approaches expiration. Fans eagerly await confirmation on whether Kross will secure a more prominent role or exit the company soon.
