Karrion Kross makes major announcement following WWE RAW

Karrion Kross made a major non-WWE announcement following the latest edition of the red brand. The RAW Superstar is all set to make a public appearance heading into the Stamford-based promotion's first-ever two-night SummerSlam.

The 39-year-old is currently involved in an intriguing storyline with Sami Zayn. After losing to him at WWE Night of Champions, Kross brutally attacked The Underdog of the Underground twice in two weeks ahead of his matches. The Canadian star was nowhere to be seen this week on RAW.

Earlier today, the former Final Testament leader took to his X/Twitter account to announce the date of his book tour. He revealed that it would take place in New Jersey on August 1. Kross added that the fans can get a signed copy of his book, "Life is Fighting," scheduled to release on August 5, in advance during the book tour.

"Here we go everyone… The book tour comes to New Jersey, Friday, Aug 1st 6pm at Bookends! Thanks for everyone’s inquiries, We’re finally here 💯 Link attached with all details and yes; You can get the book early in person and signed 👊🏼," he wrote.

Wrestling veteran believes Karrion Kross should replace former WWE Champion

Last week at Friday Night SmackDown, former WWE Champion and the current Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, injured his knee during his match against LA Knight. The Visionary is expected to be out of action for a while.

Speaking on the latest edition of Behind The Turnbuckle Studios' The Coach and Bro Show, former WWE head writer Vince Russo suggested that Karrion Kross should replace Seth Rollins in the heel faction. He opined that it would be the perfect opportunity to put the two-time NXT Champion in the spotlight and find out how he fares.

"If you're asking me as a former writer, this is where you put Karrion Kross right in the spot. You pluck Karrion Kross out, and you put together a great story that gets him involved in that group [...] This is the time to slot Kross in, brother. Put your money where your mouth is. Now, we're going to put you in the spotlight. Now, we're going to see what you can do," he said.

It remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for Paul Heyman and his associates in Seth Rollins' absence.
