WWE Superstar Karrion Kross is currently in a contract year, with his agreement reportedly set to expire this summer and there has been no significant progress on a new deal, according to a report from Fightful Select. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful had previously noted earlier in the year that Kross was in the final year of his WWE contract.
Fightful inquired with sources close to the situation and Kross himself. The outlet reported that, based on the information they received, WWE has not yet approached Kross regarding a contract extension or renewal. Furthermore, Fightful has not heard indications that the company has expressed interest in doing so at this time.
This development is particularly noteworthy given Kross’s current and prominent role on WWE Raw. He has been deeply involved in a significant storyline, delivering cryptic promos and psychologically targeting Sami Zayn, playing a key part in the narrative surrounding Zayn’s potential character shift. His on-screen presence makes his contract status a point of interest for many fans.
The report from Fightful Select also shed light on WWE’s recent practices regarding expiring talent contracts. While the company typically notifies talent about a month before their deals are up if they do not intend to renew, a more recent trend has seen WWE keep performers on television right up until such notifications are made or extension talks begin.
As it stands, there are “a few months remaining” on Karrion Kross’s current WWE deal. The situation creates a degree of uncertainty around his future with the promotion, especially as other recent departures and contract non-renewals have been reported.
Karrion Kross, often accompanied by Scarlett, returned to WWE in August 2022 after a previous release in November 2021. His second stint has seen him involved in various feuds across both SmackDown and Raw, with his current character work drawing attention for its dark and manipulative nature.
