Karrion Kross and Scarlett prompted fans to repeat the chant after Triple H mistakenly thought the crowd was chanting for Brock Lesnar, who is making a return at SummerSlam. WWE’s Chief Content Officer appeared on the SummerSlam post-show, reflecting on the historic first two-night event in PLE history and was warmly greeted by fans.
During the panel, which included Big E, Joe Tessitore, and Peter Rosenberg, Triple H misheard the crowd’s chant of "We Want Kross" at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, thinking it was "We Want Brock." Kross responded humorously to fans about Triple H’s mix-up, and Scarlett, his partner, also joined in amplifying the chant.
There’s growing speculation about the future of Kross and Scarlett within WWE, as neither had been approached for contract renewals by mid-year, according to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp. Kross was active at SummerSlam but experienced his third consecutive loss to rival Sami Zayn, just a day before Lesnar made a surprise return and attacked John Cena after two years.
Chants of "We Want Kross" have been a staple at WWE events, heard consistently at Monday Night Raw episodes featuring him, even during backstage segments, showcasing strong fan support. This backing extends beyond the WWE Universe to legends like Diamond Dallas Page, who praised Kross’s impact and social media savvy earlier this year.
Despite some skepticism from established names like John Bradshaw Layfield, Kross has won many over, including support from X-Pac, who recently encouraged friends to back Kross. Triple H was instrumental in bringing Kross back to WWE in August 2022 after his previous release, leading to significant fan momentum and singles matches at premium live events. However, Kross’s recent SummerSlam loss to Zayn has fueled rumors of another potential exit.
Fan Take: This misunderstanding highlights just how passionate WWE fans are about Karrion Kross, whose growing popularity could signal a major push if WWE capitalizes on it. For WWE enthusiasts, Kross’s future remains a storyline worth watching, as his evolving journey might influence the company’s direction and the sport’s dynamics moving forward.
