Wrestler Karrion Kross, widely recognized as The Herald of Doomsday, recently released new WWE-inspired merchandise that prominently features a striking “Good Soldier” message. This announcement comes shortly after the news that Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux’s contracts with WWE were not renewed over the past weekend, leaving their future appearances uncertain. The release of this merch highlights Kross WWE new merch efforts amid ongoing speculation about their status in the wrestling world.
The new shirt, available via Pro Wrestling Tees, carries a dark, symbolic design. The front depicts a mass grave marked with ‘Xs’ instead of crosses or traditional headstones, while the back boldly states,
“A good soldier defends his people. Time to get to work,”
a phrase Kross captioned alongside the merch promotion on his social media platform X.
“A good soldier defends his people. Time to get to work,” Kross wrote in the caption.
Kross’s history with the “good soldier” motto dates back to a post-WrestleMania segment with Sam Roberts where he reflected on the temporary nature of success in WWE, noting that good soldiers often have their time cut short. Fans and analysts are debating whether Kross and Bordeaux’s exit is permanent or part of a storyline, but their absence from television is clear for now. Bordeaux also introduced new merchandise featuring a demonic-themed design labeled HEX APPEAL, further fueling anticipation around the duo’s next moves.
Building Tension: Karrion Kross Reflects on WWE SummerSlam Match
Before their contract breaks, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux had been embroiled in a storyline feud with Sami Zayn. The narrative centered on Kross accusing Zayn of deceiving himself and the audience about his true abilities. Heading into WWE SummerSlam, each competitor had secured one victory in their back-and-forth rivalry.
At SummerSlam, Zayn decisively ended the feud by defeating Kross. On The Angle podcast hosted by Joey Karni, Kross shared his emotions immediately following that match, describing a lingering sense of unease that hinted at an uncertain future.
“I still was very grateful to be out there and to do that for you guys. Once the match was over, I just had a weird feeling. This’ll all make sense later,” said Kross. [15:30-15:45]
The “weird feeling” Kross mentioned may indicate his awareness that this encounter marked a significant turning point, potentially the conclusion of his WWE tenure. With fans continuing to express strong support for Kross, many are curious about how audiences will react to his absence or potential return during upcoming WWE programming such as RAW.
Anticipating the Future for Kross and Bordeaux
While Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux’s current presence on WWE screens has ceased, backstage sources suggest some WWE officials remain hopeful for their possible comeback. The duo’s departure has sparked conversations among fans and commentators about the trajectory of their careers in wrestling. Their new merchandise releases underline their ongoing connection with the wrestling community and hint at continued activity outside WWE, whether on independent circuits or future promotions.
As fans await official announcements, the bold messages on Kross’s new apparel reflect his resilience and readiness to continue fighting for his place in the industry. How this chapter unfolds remains uncertain, but the legacy of Karrion Kross’s intense and memorable WWE performances will not soon be forgotten.
