Karrion Kross has officially confirmed his exit from WWE, marking the end of his contract on August 10. After gaining a strong following and delivering impressive performances in recent months, the news has left many fans surprised and uncertain about his future.
Details Surrounding Karrion Kross’s Departure Announcement
Known for captivating fans with his promos and in-ring work, Karrion Kross had previously voiced frustrations regarding his WWE contract’s status. In a YouTube video titled “My WWE Contract Ends Today,” he reflected on his time with the company but did not explicitly confirm his departure at that moment. The definitive confirmation came later through a short message on X/Twitter, where Kross wrote,
“Hey… life is fighting, right? See you all again soon.”
This statement hinted at a possible next chapter beyond WWE while officially acknowledging his contract’s conclusion.
Kross Shared His Desire to Continue with WWE Despite Challenges
In the earlier video, Karrion Kross addressed common misconceptions that he wanted to leave WWE voluntarily. Contrary to those assumptions, he expressed a strong wish to remain with the promotion and even retire as part of the company. He revealed his hopes of taking on a producer role in the future but explained that communication about contract renewal had been unproductive.
“It’s frustrating, because like you know, you express your interest to stay and be here and do things. I’m not gonna beg, I’ve made it very clear. The conversation was done and there wasn’t really anything discussed of any substance. And that, actually it didn’t make me angry and it didn’t make me upset, it just really profoundly disappointed me,” Kross said.
