Karrion Kross finally got a major spotlight after strong support from WWE fans. He competed in his first Premium Live Event since WrestleMania 40 and his first singles PLE since Crown Jewel 2022 at Night of Champions 2025. Kross faced Sami Zayn in a hard-fought match but failed to pin him.
The story didn’t end there, as Kross attacked Zayn again and defeated him in a rematch on Monday Night Raw. This back-and-forth feud has kept fans interested and highlights WWE’s continued investment in Kross and Scarlett. The rivalry is still ongoing, and reports from Fightful suggest a third match is expected soon.
Despite their increased TV time and new merchandise, Kross and Scarlett have not signed new contracts with WWE. Their current deals, signed in August 2022, are set to expire in just a few weeks. The Harbinger of Doom has told multiple people that neither he nor Scarlett has received a new offer yet.
Sources within WWE claim the situation is being kept quiet. Even with no official contract extension, the couple’s strong fan support, merchandise sales, and storyline involvement suggest WWE may extend their deals soon. All signs point to the former NXT Champion being part of WWE’s long-term plans.
Karrion Kross Was the First Superstar To Return After Triple H Took Over As Creative Lead
Karrion Kross was the first major rehire during Triple H’s era in WWE. In 2022, Triple H took over from Vince McMahon as the Chief Content Officer. He quickly started rebuilding the roster. One of his first moves was bringing back Kross along with Scarlett.
The former Final Testament leader emerged on an episode of SmackDown in August, where he blindsided Drew McIntyre and ultimately had a stare-down with Roman Reigns and The Usos. It appeared like WWE had Kross lined up as Reigns’ challenger. However, a singles match between them never actually came to fruition.
The Doomsday was made to go after McIntyre, and they had a lengthy rivalry. However, at the time, Kross’ gimmick wasn’t resonating with the live audience, which would often result in dull matches, and his hype fizzled out. The recent resurgence in Kross’ standing among the fans has opened up a silver lining for the New Yorker to finally make it count.
