Where do the Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, fall in the annals of WWE tag teams history? Are they a top-10 team? Top-20? Will the duo end up in the Hall of Fame off the backs of their status as Grand Slam Champions? Or will they instead fall into the category of fan […]

Though Karrion Kross has worked matches, angles, and even a few Premium Live Events as a member of the WWE Universe, many, if not most fans will still assert that the very best business he’s done came in NXT, when he was booked like a dominant heel monster at the top of the card by […]

Karrion Kross hasn’t wrestled a match on WWE television since all the way back in August, when he took on AJ Styles in a losing effort on SmackDown. Since then, Kross has shared pictures of himself on social media looking menacing, and his wife/partner Scarlett is hosting a show with Shotzi about spooky places of […]

After returning to WWE following a successful run split between New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling, “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson has wrestled exactly four singles matches, with two of those coming versus members of the Guerillas of Destiny in an NJPW ring, if you can believe it. On the forthcoming edition of SmackDown, the […]

After two separate stints on the indies, Karrion Kross knows a thing or two about the differences between how WWE likes to put angles together and how companies like Impact, New Japan, Major League Wrestling, and even your local indie opt to run their shows. Some value hard-hitting, shoot-esque action, others, like Lucha Underground – […]

In the summer of 2022, August 5th, 2022, to be exact, Karrion Kross and Scarlett made their triumphant return to WWE following a surprising return to the indies mere months removed from a dominant, 136-day reign as the NXT Champion. Since that fateful day, the “Herald Of Doomsday” has wrestled 16 televised matches, going 7-9 […]

On WWE television, Karrion Kross and AJ Styles really don’t like each other. For one reason or another, Scarlett identified the “Phenomenal One” as the next performer to challenge her husband via her tarot cards, and ever since, The OC has been firmly in the sights of Kross, who still has the “Killer” mentality that […]

On paper, AJ Styles should be in a pretty good mood after his match versus Karrion Kross on SmackDown; he secured the win versus the former “Killer” with little resistance, secured a clean pinfall without any interference, and when Scarlett did attempt to get involved, he had Mia Yim as a heater on the outside […]

With the WWE Draft officially over, fans, pundits, and performers themselves have begun to comment on which Superstars went where, with some questioning why Paul “Triple H” Levesque broke up the feud between The Judgement Day and lWo, while others complimented the decision to bring Imperium over to RAW, as Gunther will now be afforded […]

With the 2023 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal rapidly approaching, WWE performers from across the brands are looking to find an advantage heading into the match in the hopes of elevating their stock, getting into their opponent’s heads, and maybe, just maybe, sneaking their way onto the WrestleMania 39 card. After watching Xavier Woods […]

After being released from WWE due to “budget cuts” during the pandemic, did Karrion Kross have any apprehension about returning to The Fed, especially after having his first run on the main roster thoroughly botched by Vince McMahon and his Gladiator-inspired idea? Or was the former Killer ready to test his mettle on wrestling’s grandest […]

The few months will be crucial for WWE’s main event scene. Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania will set the stage for how the world titles will be defended moving forward. Will Roman Reigns defeat Cody Rhodes and continue his historic run as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion? Will Cody Rhodes finish history and be […]

Karrion Kross is a fan of professional wrestling. While the WWE Superstar is always down to play the heel on television, using his size, his trickery, and Scarlett, to torment the likes of Drew McIntyre and Rey Mysterio, but when he’s off camera, the 37-year-old New York Native is more than willing to put over […]

When news broke that Emma, known as Tenille Dashwood in Impact Wrestling, was returning to WWE after half a decade away, was a pleasant surprise. Sure, after watching the likes of Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross, and the hints of Bray Wyatt make their way back into the WWE Universe, bringing back a performer like Emma, […]

The second feud a performer has in WWE can make or break their entire run with the company. Now sure, sometimes, performers don’t even make it to their second feud, as Karrion Kross learned all too well during his first run on RAW, but for the most part, first feuds are easy; creative introduces a […]

When Triple H took control of WWE creative midway through the year, fans expected significant changes from the King of Kings. Fans were ecstatic to learn that the mastermind behind NXT would oversee the entire main roster. Since Triple H took over, we’ve seen a decent amount of returns from wrestlers who previously got released. […]

Since re-debuting in the WWE Universe roughly three months ago, making an appearance at the end of the first SmackDown of the month of August, Karrion Kross has had it out for Drew McIntyre. Though the duo have only technically wrestled twice on WWE televised programming, first at Extreme Rules in a strap match that […]

Drew McIntyre just wants a fair shake against Karrion Kross in a WWE ring – no fireballs, no pepper spray, just a fair, even match between two in-ring performers to see who is the better in-ring wrestler. But how can the “Scottish Warrior” ensure that would happen? Would he ask for an empty arena match? […]

When Karrion Kross takes the ring at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, it will mark three months to the day since Scarlett and “The Killer” arrived in WWE. While that may not seem like a long time, and in a way it isn’t, a lot has happened since that fateful day in August; the White […]

In May of 2021, EC3 wanted to Free The Narrative. Initially named after his desire to pursue a new vision of what professional wrestling could be outside of the rigid structure of WWE, the show turned into two, and eventually, after a name change, and the independent debut of Adam Scherr, Control Your Narrative the […]

To paraphrase Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: Karrion Kross came (to WWE’s Extreme Rules), he saw (Drew Mcintyre in the ring), he kicked some (Drew McIntyre) A–. Earning his first true evaluation since returning WWE in August – no offense to Drew Gulak – Kross got into the ring with one of the baddest babyfaces on […]

What happens when a participant in a strap match refuses to put on the strap? Does the match just start without the stipulation being fulfilled? Or is it a case where the bell won’t ring until the rules are fulfilled? Well, the WWE Universe found out firsthand at Extreme Rules, as Karrion Kross, in a […]

After months of anticipation, Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre are finally scheduled to face off, in a strap match no less, within the WWE Universe. Finally, the timing will be right to see who the next-biggest star on SmackDown is behind Roman Reigns and who is the rightful challenger for the “Head of the Table’s” […]

WWE has a bit of a pest problem. Mind you, they don’t have ants, gnats, or even snakes; WWE has a bad case of white rabbits, little, pesky white rabbits who keep running across the screen and getting into mischief. Coming in the form of folks holding signs with QR codes attached, white rabbits have […]

After largely underwhelming fans with an expected 9:23 announcement that ultimately fell during a commercial break, WWE was at it again on Monday Night RAW, where, for the second show in a row, a QR code was flashed on the screen for fans to scan and see a few more pieces in the White Rabbit […]

Since debuting an attempted viral marketing campaign to hint at something happening at 9:23 PM on the 9.23 edition of SmackDown, the WWE Universe has been on overdrive trying to figure out who – or what – the White Rabbit could be. Is it a reference to Karrion Kross, as he wrestled under the name […]

As rumors continue to swell that WWE could bring back even more of their formers stars following the returns of Johnny Gargano, Dakota Kai, Hit Row, Braun Strowman, and many, many others, one performer has consistently ranked number one on the majority of fans’ wish lists: Bray Wyatt. That’s right, despite being linked to seemingly […]

Karrion Kross never wanted to leave WWE. He left Impact on bad terms to pursue a chance to wrestle for the promotion, wrestled exactly one match in MLW before being offered his return contract, and fully embraced everything that comes with being a WWE superstar, from moving to Orlando to join NXT to forgo his […]

In a little less than a week, Drew McIntyre will be wrestling the most important match of his WWE career, nay his wrestling career, period, when he throws down in the main event of Clash at the Castle versus the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Taking the ring in Cardiff, Wales, on the very […]

There was a time when WWE thought that Karrion Kross and his partner/valet/wife Scarlett were an expense too excessive to afford. Deemed on par with cutting out trips to the all-you-can-eat sushi bar the week rent is due, Nick Khan and company opted to release the duo from their contracts due to “budget cuts” in […]

The WWE Universe is in a weirdly good spot at the moment. On one hand, the company’s booking is drawing rave reviews from across the wrestling world, with fans already labeling Triple H a late entrant for Tony Khan’s Booker of the Year award. But then again, just because the weekly additions of former NXT […]

Oh, what a difference a week can make to the NXT/WWE Universe. Since fully taking over as the EVP of Global Talent Strategy and Development/chief creative mind of the WWE Universe ahead of the penultimate edition of Smackdown before SummerSlam, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has brought wrestling back to television, nixed the 24/7 Championship from […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque tweeted out “… and we’re just getting started” after the surprising returns/re-debuts of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Io Shirai-turned-Iyo Sky, it felt like a pretty darn big deal to the WWE Universe. After years of the talent pipeline from the indies to The Fed going decidedly one way, with dozens […]

When former NXT standout Dakota Kai returned to the WWE Universe at SummerSlam, it signified a pretty big changing of the guard for a company defined by sticking to their ways even when they’ve become incredibly stagnant. Not only did it signify a pretty big change in the company’s booking philosophy, as Mr. McMahon really […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque officially took over creative control of the WWE from his father-in-law Vince McMahon following the latter’s retirement, it changed the history of wrestling forever. In less than a week, the WWE Universe watched the amount of time budgeted to actually wrestling in the ring jump from under 30 minutes to […]

Since being released from WWE, Killer don’t-call-him-Karrion Kross has been up to quite a bit; he’s reunited with in-ring manager/out-of-the-ring wife Scarlett Bordeaux, recaptured his powerhouse status as an in-ring monster, and wrestled for a half a dozen different promotions, including Warrior, MLW, NJPW, and even Control Your Narrative (CYN), the promotion started by EC3 […]

Triple H did his darndest to make Karrion Kross into a star in NXT. He handpicked the “Killer” indie talent away from promotions like Impact and MLW – stealing him away from AEW in the process – and spent the better part of two years building him up to become an unstoppable force in NXT […]

After a weird run in WWE notorious for some very weird outfit choices and the absence of his valet, Scarlett, Karrion Kross has re-emerged on the indies as Killer Kross, a character oddly reminiscent of his former NXT presentation, where he overpowered lesser foes and bested bigger foes with his domineering style. Since re-debuting at […]

Karrion Kross was supposed to be a star in WWE. He was expertly built up to be an unbeatable monster by Triple H, and then, after just nine matches on Raw – plus a few more that were either dark, on live events, or on Main Event – his time in WWE was over; he […]
