Killer Kross wants to return to television alongside Scarlett Bordeaux.
Following their debut in 2020, the duo had a successful run on WWE NXT. Kross won the NXT Championship twice as he was one of the most dominant competitors on the brand. However, his run on the main roster quickly fizzled out due to a number of creative missteps, and the company released him in a wave of budget cuts. Now, Kross and Bordeaux continue to compete for a number of promotions on the independent circuit.
In an interview with Kevin Kellam of Sportskeeda Wrestling, when asked about his goals for the future, Kross noted that there are some things that he and Scarlett can only do separately, but they believe they work better together as a package deal on television. He also recalled how they couldn’t gauge crowd interactions during their run in NXT because it came at a time when fans weren’t attending shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I mean, yeah, her and I are open to performing separately, we have all year,” said Kross. “There are certain things that we want to get out artistically that are only gonna be able to be done on our own. But in terms of a television presentation, we just think it would be better for us to be working together, and that’s solely based off of fan interaction. We were in lockdown and we were in WWE for the two years. It was a very strange time.
“We weren’t able to engage with our audience and our fans like we used to back in the beginning of 2019 and everything prior to that. Now that the market is opened back up, everybody’s out, we’re doing meet and greets and seeing fans every single weekend. Like thousands of people at a time. And the one thing that people always tell us is, when are you guys coming back together on TV? So we enjoy working together, but the choice to want to work together is completely based off of what the audience is telling us.”
The former NXT Champion then noted that he and Scarlett have always tried to listen to the fans, and this approach has worked out well for them. He emphasized that the duo wants to work together on TV, but if another opportunity comes up, they would consider it if they were confident that people would want to see it.
“I’ve always said this from the very beginning — if you listen to the audience, they’ll tell you what they want,” said Kross. “It doesn’t have to be this long confusing equation of a trial and error. They’re telling you what they want. So we’ve always tried to work towards pleasing the people, and that’s always been very beneficial to us and our careers. So we think that’s the best course of action, in terms of working in a globally western television market, would be to work together.
“And if another or a better idea was proposed, and we were certain that people would want to see it, we would definitely entertain it. But in terms of keeping up the momentum, her and I both love this. So it’s easy. You find a job, you work. Find a job you love, and you never work a day in your life, as the old saying goes.”
“The Herald of Doomsday” will be in action at Ric Flair’s Last Match; he’ll take on Davey Boy Smith Jr. Kross will also face Tony Nese in the first round of the Wrestling Showcase. More information is available here.
