Karrion Kross has issued a sharp warning to Sami Zayn ahead of their highly anticipated rematch on WWE RAW. This confrontation will take place on Monday in Houston, Texas, giving Kross an opportunity to seek revenge after his defeat to Zayn at Night of Champions.
Details on the Upcoming WWE RAW Rematch
WWE confirmed over the weekend that Karrion Kross will face the returning Sami Zayn in a one-on-one matchup on RAW. Known as the Herald of Doomsday, Kross has focused his attacks on Zayn’s ribs in recent weeks, which caused Zayn to miss last Monday’s episode. The attack has intensified the rivalry, setting the stage for a critical encounter.
Kross took to X, formerly Twitter, to promote the showdown against “The Underdog From The Underground,” sharing footage of his recent assaults on Zayn along with a vague but threatening message directed at his opponent. Fans will be watching closely to see if Kross can back up his words, especially given the growing support he has gained despite his ruthless behavior toward Zayn.
Since WrestleMania 41, Kross has been gaining momentum, although his appearances on WWE television have been somewhat limited. Monday’s showdown will mark Kross’ first singles match on RAW since his loss against AJ Styles on the April 14 episode.
Behind the Scenes: Kross’ Viral Segment with Scarlett
A couple of weeks prior on RAW, Karrion Kross made an unexpected appearance during a commercial break designed for fans not using Netflix. Even though this segment aired on the live stream, it wasn’t part of the main broadcast, but still earned Kross a warm reaction from the Providence, Rhode Island crowd.
During this moment, Kross expressed himself freely and ended the segment by kissing his wife, Scarlett, much to her surprise. In a recent interview with 10 Count Media, Kross revealed that the kiss was unplanned and acted as a playful tease, as both he and Scarlett are typically uncomfortable with public displays of affection.
“Her and I play ribs on each other all the time. That one was just more obvious than the other ones that we’ve done live,” Kross said. — Karrion Kross, WWE Superstar
Kross also shared that he remains surprised by the fans’ positive reactions despite his ongoing villainous role on WWE television, especially with his aggressive conduct toward Sami Zayn.
The Significance of Monday’s Match
This rematch carries substantial weight for both Karrion Kross and Sami Zayn, as it offers Kross a chance to redeem himself after his recent loss while giving Zayn an opportunity to prove his resilience following weeks of injury and harassment. The outcome could greatly influence future storylines on WWE RAW and impact each wrestler’s momentum heading deeper into the wrestling calendar.
