Karrion Kross lost his fight against Sami Zayn and Summerslam 2025and that ended up being his last fight at WWE, since neither he nor his wife Scarlett were at WWE RAW, and finally this weekend was confirmed what many did not want: his contract came to an end without the parties having agreed to renew a renewal, and even previously denied the reports that they had offered a new agreement.
► Wwe saw Kross as a threat?
WWE removed Kross already Scarlett from the active list of superstars, confirming that he is now a free agent, and the fighter did not waste time talking about his situation on his YouTube channel, referring to the fact that he intended to stay in the company, but that the WWE did not take its situation seriously and never came to establish an agreement.
NXT's former champion stated in Your video that the organic support he has achieved during the last year Not only was he ignored by WWE, but in some cases it was treated as if it were a problem. Kross recalled how fans reactions began to grow in early 2025, both online and in the stadiums, even with a limited time on television, mostly referring to appearances in WWE Main Event and in segments during commercials.
«I remember that at first some said: 'Hey, I wouldn't take it seriously. It will not last 'or' to see if it is real when you leave tonight or if it is still there when we are in another city or state '. When I was still there and became stronger and stronger every week, that disappeared and thought: 'We are not ready to accept it at all.' Some people told me: 'Do not recognize it', which seemed very bad to me because connecting with the public, especially with one like this, is not something that occurs overnight. “
«This is something that is happening due to what happened in the last three years. We are reaching a turning point and It can be said that it started because I crossed something and everyone saw what was on the other side. I don't feel that we are all going in the direction that the public would like. That part does not feel good. “
Kross admitted that the situation after racks often frustrated him, and commented that some high controls within the company wanted them to ignore the songs of “we want Kross” because They saw it as a threat instead of something positive.
“The situation feels like Jodi **. It is impossible to ignore it. I do not want people to feel ignored, and many feel it, so the noise is increasing. I knew that this was going to happen. If we did not stick to what the public asked and wanted to see, the noise would intensify. Fain that it does not exist or convince us that it will disappear, it is not so.”
«I am building a relationship with the public; Sometimes, with certain people, I feel they treat him as if he were rebelling me or as if it were a problem that has happened. This should not feel that way. It should not be treated as a problem. It seems that you exceeded or advanced to something they did not expect you to get, and they don't like you to get ahead ».
«The merchandise, when it began to have great success, had no idea until fans began to comment online. I returned to my contacts and the company and asked them: “Is it true?” They replied: “We don't know.” How is it possible that they know it? I investigated a little and discovered that. Karrion Kross became a sales success thanks to the interaction of fans.»
«Online support is different because many of the online fans are people from other states who could not attend the event at that time, but they will be there next week when you go to their city. It was the online community that put that merchandise there … That support moved from online to face -to -face over time. “
Now as a free agent, Kross's future is completely open and will have to follow his future closely. Hated by some and loved by many, former NXT champion left a clear message on how to build the public's support based on anything, and Surely you will take advantage of that organic connection to succeed wherever it is.
