Karrion Kross gives himself new nickname; has focus on WWE RAW

WWE Superstar Karrion Kross recently gave himself a new name. The former Final Testament leader appears to be focused on a massive opportunity.

The 2025 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are slated to kick off later tonight on RAW. An Instagram user shared a post today to extend his support for Kross to be crowned as the King of the Ring.

The Instagram post caught Karrion's attention, and the two-time NXT Champion thanked the user for his support. The RAW Superstar noted that it would be great to win the tournament and be referred to as "The King Of The Killers."

"The King Of The Ring…The King Of The Killers also has a nice ring to it. Very cool, thank you 👊🏼👊🏼," he wrote.

Here is a screenshot of Kross' comment:

Although Kross has made regular appearances on Monday Night RAW in backstage segments, he has yet to win a televised main roster match in 2025. Only time will tell if WWE books him to compete in the King of the Ring tournament despite the dismal statistic.

Scarlett wants Karrion Kross to be the next WWE Champion

Karrion Kross's wife recently expressed her desire to see the 39-year-old win the WWE Championship.

Speaking in an interview with WWE Deutschland, Scarlett claimed that her focus at the time was to make sure Kross became the next WWE Champion. The 34-year-old noted that she and her husband could hold titles simultaneously. However, she was prioritizing her husband at the moment.

"My focus right now is definitely making sure that Karrion Kross becomes the next WWE Champion. That is 100% my focus right now. We can do both at the same time, though. Absolutely! But my focus right now is making sure that Kross gets the title that he deserves," Scarlett said.
