Karrion Kross‘ contract status has been a hot topic as of late. Some fans think that WWE might have just tipped everyone off that he’ll be sticking around.
Last week, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) reported that Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been telling people that they still have not been approached about a contract extension or renewal. It was previously reported that Kross and Scarlett’s WWE contracts expire this summer.
Karrion Kross was recently asked about his contract status. However, he told Tim Battle of the Battleground Podcast that he didn’t think he should speak about the matter yet, but would when the time was right.
“I don’t think I should talk about any of it right now,” Kross said. “But I am hoping that when the time is right, everyone will know what’s going on, including us.”
Some fans seem to think that WWE just gave a clue that Kross has signed, although it wasn’t a direct confirmation. During the WWE SummerSlam countdown show, Jackie Redmond was discussing Kross’s match with Sami Zayn. She held up his new book, Life Is Fighting, and plugged it on the broadcast. Fans speculated that WWE wouldn’t promote an outside project like this unless Kross signed a new contract, and took it as a sign that he’ll be staying with the company.
Despite Redmond promoting the book, it’s worth noting that Kross nor WWE have confirmed he’s re-signed at this time, and his status remains a topic of speculation.

Karrion Kross teases a major announcement
Karrion Kross spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard to promote the release of Life Is Fighting. During the conversation, Kross was asked who else he had been telling the truth about on WWE Raw. He laughed and said “everyone” before teasing that a mind-blowing announcement was coming in the near future.
“And when the time is right, I’m going to tell everybody how this all happened. And it’s going to blow their minds. How we got to this character who is, for a lack of better words, putting curses on people with Scarlett, and the spiraling out and crashing out of their lives following, how all that came to be. When I tell people how all this played out, it’s going to be world-altering,” Kross proclaimed. “Because the real story behind all of this to where we are right now is actually unbelievable and I can’t wait to get there. We are going to get there, but it’s going to be unbelievable. That’s all I can say; it’s not what people think.”
When does Kross plan on revealing all of these details?
“Really soon,” Kross said with a laugh. “Really soon.”
Life Is Fighting will be released on August 5 through physical and digital retailers like Amazon.
