Karrion Kross defeated Keith Lee to become the NXT Champion at NXT TakeOver: XXX. While there were great hopes attached to Kross, he suffered an injury during the match and he was forced to relinquish his title four days later. Kross suffered a shoulder injury, and there is no clear news on when he will be back in action. Finn Balor spoke to Newsweek recently and talked about how Kross’ injury is similar to the one that forced him to relinquish his Universal Championship after just one day. However, Balor noted that Kross could be back in action much sooner, which means we could see him as early as this coming Sunday at NXT TakeOver: 31.

"I think he's gonna come back better than ever and we had a good chat last Wednesday. He's a great guy, and I think he's gonna be fine. It's a slightly different injury, but I think he'll be back a little sooner than I did. Hopefully he'll come back a hundred percent and better than ever."

The Herald of Doomsday will come back for the NXT Championship as soon as he is cleared to compete again, and since he has been out for six weeks already, he could start building a storyline at NXT TakeOver: 31 if he is fit to compete.

We could watch Kross appear at NXT TakeOver: 31 and attack both Balor and Kyle O’Reilly, leaving them in a heap and ending the match in a no contest.

Kross was recently spotted training alongside John Morrison, and that could indicate that he is preparing to take to the ring sooner than later.
