Karrion Kross set for big debut after WWE exit

Karrion Kross is set for a big debut following his WWE exit. Kross left WWE after his contract expired on August 10, and since then, speculation has been rife about his future. While there has been talk of his departure being a work, the former NXT Champion is already taking bookings.

Kross and his wife, Scarlett, left the Stamford-based promotion after they couldn't agree on a new contract. The Harbinger of Doom mentioned that WWE made him an offer, a week before his current deal expired, but rescinded it after he asked for more discussions.

As such, Kross has been busy making moves following the end of his WWE run. Recently, House of Glory Wrestling announced on X (Twitter) that he will be making his debut with the promotion in October.

"The most dangerous free agent in wrestling has arrived. KILLER KROSS makes his long-awaited HOG debut Friday, October 10th! @therealKILLERkross," the tweet read.

Earlier, it was reported that Kross and Scarlett were demanding a very high fee for independent bookings. However, they are now set to appear on several shows outside the Stamford-based promotion. It seems that their time in WWE may have indeed come to an end.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
