Just one week after his WWE contract expired on August 10, 2025, Karrion Kross released a new entrance theme song that appears to signal his departure from WWE and a revival of his earlier persona. The track, titled Don’t Kross A Killer, delivers strong lyrics that seem to reflect his experiences within WWE and hint at a confident return under his original ring name, Killer Kross.
Deep Messages in Karrion Kross’s New Entrance Theme
The song’s lyrics include pointed references to his journey in WWE, such as From Hunter To A Pawn and the lines,
Tried To Turn You To A Reject / Said The Shine Had Been Lost
, suggesting his frustration with changes made to his character. The recurring chorus, Don’t Cross A Killer, emphasizes a return to the darker, more aggressive persona that resonated with fans before his time on WWE’s main roster. Produced by artist NOWHERE2RUN, this track marks Kross’s shift back to the Killer Kross identity that he originally adopted prior to signing with WWE in 2020.
Additionally, the song hints at his readiness to move beyond WWE with lyrics expressing optimism for the future. Lines like,
There’s Nothing But Pavement In Front Of Me
and
My Wings Have Finally Grown / Now I Know That I Can’t Fall
underscore a sense of personal growth and confidence in the next chapter of his career outside WWE.
Release from WWE and Ongoing Fan Backing
Karrion Kross and his wife, Scarlett Bordeaux, officially became free agents after their WWE contracts ended on August 10, 2025. The separation occurred following unsuccessful contract negotiations, which Kross revealed involved a 24-hour deadline with no detailed offer provided. Reports also indicated that Scarlett was not included in any renewal discussions.
Despite limited television exposure, Kross generated significant fan support during his WWE tenure. The “We Want Kross” campaign gained traction across social media platforms and live shows, with the hashtag trending as the top topic on X in the United States immediately following his release. Merchandise sales further demonstrated his popularity, as his String Them Up t-shirt outsold merchandise related to John Cena’s retirement.
The intensity of fan support was evident during SummerSlam, when chants for Kross echoed during an interview with Triple H, though the veteran dismissed the chants as those for Brock Lesnar. Kross addressed the scene succinctly with a three-word response, reflecting his awareness of the fan-driven movement advocating for his return.
Future Possibilities for Karrion Kross’s Wrestling Career
At this stage, Kross has not announced any plans for his next professional wrestling engagement. Speculation surrounds whether he might re-sign with WWE, join rival promotions such as AEW, or pursue opportunities on the independent circuit. His new theme song and public statements indicate a readiness to redefine his career while reaffirming the Killer Kross identity fans have long associated with him.
