Amidst reports that Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s WWE contracts are set to expire, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has laid out a detailed, elaborate plan for how Kross could create his own “lightning in a bottle” and get “mega over” with the fans, whether he is re-signed by the company or not. Speaking on the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast, Bully proposed a storyline rooted in the real-life fan support for the duo.
Capitalizing on Fan Support
Bully Ray began by highlighting the strong fan reaction Kross has been receiving, which he believes WWE has not fully capitalized on. “I think there’s too much of an organic groundswell amongst wrestling fans,” he said, citing the “We Want Kross” chants that were audible during the SummerSlam post-show press conference. “The WWE Universe likes carrying cross. They want Him to stick around. They see something in him.”
The Parking Lot Petition
Building on this, Bully laid out his creative idea. “If Karrion Kross was not re-signed, this guy should take it upon himself, him and Scarlett to get on a plane every Monday and go to every single arena that the WWE is performing in on Monday nights, and be in the parking lot having people sign a petition saying we want Kross,” he proposed. He suggested Kross should use his social media to announce his location each week to rally the fans directly.
A Social Media Movement
He envisioned Kross creating a spectacle in the arena parking lots. “I’d have him standing on top of a van, like the Karrion Kross van or whatever… not the LEX Express tour bus,” he specified. “Kross stands on the top of his van with a megaphone, and he just brings the people in cutting promos on that megaphone in the parking lot, and people will flock to him in droves and line them up with Scarlett having the petition.” He stressed that this entire movement would live exclusively on social media, never appearing on WWE television, to maintain a sense of reality.
Banging on Titan Towers’ Door
The climax of the proposed angle would see Kross take the signed petition directly to WWE Headquarters. “I would take that petition with all those names, and I would videotape myself showing up to Stanford, Connecticut, and banging… on the front doors of the office Titan towers,” Bully explained. “And when the lady sitting at the front desk says, ‘Who is it?’ ‘It’s Karrion Kross. I’m here with Scarlet Bordeaux, and I got over 100,000 signatures, I want to talk to Triple H.'”
Bully Ray believes this storyline would allow Kross to “create his own sense of urgency” and harness the real fan support to become “one hell of a babyface.” He argued that the plan could work whether Kross was actually released or if it were an elaborate storyline orchestrated by WWE. The full discussion can be heard on the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast.
