Karrion Kross aims for WWE King of the Ring title as he adopts a new moniker ahead of the 2025 tournament set to kick off tonight on RAW. With ambitions running high, Kross is eager to prove himself, capturing attention on social media and among fellow WWE Superstars as the tournament approaches.
Karrion Kross Sets Sights on Tournament Glory
WWE Superstar Karrion Kross recently rebranded himself, using the title ‘King of the Killers,’ signaling a new focus on his ongoing quest for wrestling accolades. The anticipation around the 2025 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments has reached a fever pitch, with Kross poised to make an impact. Earlier today, an Instagram user showed support for the former Final Testament leader to be crowned as King of the Ring, prompting a direct response from Kross himself.
The two-time NXT Champion took to social media to thank the supporter, expressing how meaningful winning the tournament would be and how well the new nickname fits. He responded with,
“The King Of The Ring…The King Of The Killers also has a nice ring to it. Very cool, thank you 👊🏼👊🏼,” he wrote.
Kross, who has consistently appeared in backstage segments on Monday Night RAW, has yet to secure a win in a televised main roster bout in 2025. Despite this, the possibility remains that WWE may place him in the King of the Ring tournament, offering a shot at turning his fortunes around.

Thanks to his compelling persona and performances, Kross continues to grow in popularity, earning a reputation as a crowd favorite. As excitement builds for the King of the Ring, fans and peers alike are watching to see if this will be the year that his hard work pays off in championship gold.
