Karrion Kross made his presence known backstage on RAW a few weeks after getting drafted to the red brand. The man he interacted with is a 12-time champion who got medically cleared a few seconds prior.

This week on RAW, a backstage segment in the WWE medical room saw 12-time Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods officially getting a medical clearance after three weeks while Kofi Kingston cheered him on. It was business as usual for the duo, who looked to make a big splash when returning.

After Kofi Kingston left, Karrion Kross and Scarlett seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The latter told Xavier Woods that there's always time to "turn" things around, insinuating turning him into the dark side.

Interestingly, Xavier Woods and The New Day have not been heels or villains for over eight years. They turned babyface in WrestleMania season in 2016 and have remained in that role ever since.

It's not known why Karrion Kross is targeting Xavier Woods, but it'll be interesting to see how things play out. For those who forgot, Gunther handed Xavier Woods a massive submission loss, and after the match, Woods got injured.

The New Day turning heel would send shockwaves across the WWE Universe.
