Karrion Kross is currently in the midst of his second run with WWE, and once again, he is struggling to make his mark. Having only wrestled on Main Event since April, the former WWE NXT Champion has been restricted to backstage segments for months, which sums up how he has been used generally since returning to the company.

After 4 Years Of Failure, Karrion Kross Has Finally Found His Place On WWE’s Roster
Until recently, Karrion Kross’ WWE run was a massive failure, but recent changes to his gimmick suggest that he is now living up to his potential.
However, the Harbinger of Doom has put an incredible amount of work into his personal social media to showcase his character, and his efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by the WWE Universe. The fans have been pushing for him to get a big opportunity moving forward, buying his merchandise and demanding WWE give him a chance to shine, and it appears the company is ready to listen.
Karrion Kross has been fighting with scraps so far in WWE
He has never been given a big push on the main roster
- Kross dominated during his initial run as the WWE NXT Champion
- Kross has barely wrestled on the main roster in 2025
- WWE hasn’t put him in any memorable storylines
Kross had a great run in WWE NXT, dominating the development brand and impressing fans with his talent. While he flopped on the main roster under Vince McMahon, when Triple H brought him back, there was a lot of expectation for him to have a better run. Kross has a detailed personality and tons of charisma, especially with Scarlett by his side.
However, his opportunities have been few and far between, with Triple H barely using him. Kross was even given his faction at one stage with The Final Testament, but that didn’t change his fortunes. Outside of a small feud with Bobby Lashley’s group, this faction went on to little of note.
In fact, the last time Kross had a match at a premium live event was at WrestleMania 40, which showcases how little he has been used. That’s one of the reasons why fans have rallied behind him, because if he doesn’t get used soon, then he will be in a dangerous position when WWE makes future cuts.
Karrion Kross is set to get a big opportunity at WWE’s Night Of Champions
Sami Zayn will help him to a great match
- Zayn is one of WWE’s top babyfaces
- Fans are invested in this storyline, regardless of its backstage nature
- Kross has the chance to prove his in-ring talent
Kross has only been used in backstage segments throughout the past few months, but he is so compelling that his work has caught on. Fans hang on to his every word, which has led to him developing a feud against Sami Zayn that WWE is now pushing onto television, which is exciting to see.

Everything you need to know about the return of Night of Champions on June 28.
It proves that WWE are listening to the audience. They have been begging for Kross to get some time inside the ring, and now it’s happening. It isn’t just a forgettable situation, either. Zayn is one of WWE’s top stars right now, and Triple H has put a lot of effort into him ever since he took charge.
Zayn could seriously help Kross at Night of Champions because the big argument that critics have is that Kross’ matches can be bland. That’s something few people say about Zayn, who is a tremendous wrestler who should help take Kross to an entertaining encounter that will dispel those rumors.
Karrion Kross needs to succeed beyond the love from fans
This could be the start of a major run for him in WWE
- Kross needs to bring back his brutal violence
- Kross should prove to management that he has to be used long-term
- WWE fans have set Kross up perfectly to become a big star
The WWE Universe has helped Kross to this position right now, where he is heading to Saudi Arabia to compete on a premium live event card. However, the fans can only do so much. Once a wrestler is put into a specific position, it falls on them to deliver inside the ring and make the moment count.
That will be the case now for Kross, as he has been put in a prominent position, which he needs to make the most of. Fans are invested in what is happening between him and Zayn, and they rarely lose interest in whatever Zayn does due to his connection with them. That’s something that Kross should exploit and make the most of with a great match that can be followed up afterward.
