During a recent appearance at The Ariel Helwani Show, the former Final Testament leader was asked if he would get a chance to be a part of the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. Kross stated he really hoped so and was ready for it.

The 39-year-old also competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial 2025 Battle Royal on the go-home edition of SmackDown before The Showcase of The Immortals.
Former WWE Superstar lauds Karrion Kross; makes a shocking revelation
Former NXT star Shotzi praised Karrion Kross during a recent appearance on the Busted Open podcast.
The 33-year-old lauded Kross for his impressive mic work. Shotzi claimed that Karrion was hiring people on his own for the production of his social media promos. The former WWE NXT Women's Tag Team Champion noted that she was glad the RAW star was putting in the work instead of waiting for an opportunity.
"I'm glad that he's not waiting for WWE to let him show it. He's taking it into his own hands. Like he's hiring all of these people to put these productions together because he's like, 'Well, if they're not going to do it, I'm gonna do it myself.' And it's honestly been really inspiring to see him just take it into his own hands," Shotzi added. [From 19:20 to 19:44]
