Karrion Kross and his wife, Scarlett, may be an eerie couple on WWE television, but Kross remains authentic in his life outside the ring. Reports indicated that Kross and his partner’s contracts were due to expire this weekend. A veteran journalist recently claimed that Kross was presented with a new offer, but The Herald of Doomsday has made a statement.
Karrion Kross has been the focal point of WWE and wrestling-related discussions in recent weeks. Initially, fans wanted him to be pushed, but that never materialized. In the following weeks, reports of his WWE contract expiring became the center of conversation. Dave Meltzer recently reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that an offer was made to Kross.
The famed journalist didn’t reveal anything about Scarlett. Still, it seems likely she would have received a deal, time, and an impatient audience will show too, as she is an integral part of Karrion’s overall presentation.
Paul Heyman also discussed Kross during a recent conversation with Ariel Helwani on Wednesday. The Oracle referenced him as the modern-day Stone Cold Steve Austin. The former Roman Reigns’ wiseman was bold enough to talk about how the fans supported Kross. Paul even stated that the current situation with the former NXT Champion is working.

"The audience is calling for him to be a bigger star. If we don't deliver it on a correct timetable… an impatient audience is going to get behind him even more.

Karrion Kross spoke to Joey Karni of The Angle Podcast. The full chat has not yet been released, but a small clip of Kross’s discussion is available. The Final Testament leader can be seen addressing the rumors circulating online. Kross didn’t fully confirm or deny the claims, but it appears he is trying to keep things under wraps until something is made official.
The former MLW performer stated that most of the information available on the internet is untrue. When asked about his possible appearance on WWE Raw, he responded,
“I hope so. I see things being written online right now, specifically today. A lot of what I read is not true. I hate to disappoint people, but I don’t want to bulls---, but I hope so. I hope, I hope, we do come back.”

Karrion Kross could stay away from WWE television, especially Raw, as he did this week. His absence would create anticipation. Fans could become vocal about him during weekly shows and online. Kross knows the best way to outsmart people, and he could return when fans least expect it. This would enhance the experience for both him and his wife, Scarlett, upon their return.
It would also give the WWE creative team a clear understanding of how fans rally behind him. This could play a significant role in shaping his ascent to the top, where he could pursue the World Heavyweight Championship.
Kross has the aura, and if WWE plays their part well, the former Final Testament leader could become a major star. Paul Heyman rightly compared him to Stone Cold Steve Austin because of his presence, and with the fans behind him, Kross could become the biggest name on the roster in the months to come.
