Former WWE star Kallion Cross acknowledged the fans who chanted his name during the opening segment of last Friday’s SmackDown. The newly available free agent confirmed he noticed their support.
During the match between Sami Zain and US Champion Solo Cicero, the Montreal crowd loudly chanted, "We want a Cross," which quickly caught attention online. Shortly after, Cross took to social media to thank fans still backing him after his departure from WWE, posting simply, "I heard you."
These chants and Cross’s response came just days after his WWE contract officially ended on August 10th. While many have speculated the exit might be part of a storyline, Cross clarified in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani that his departure is genuine. "This isn’t a game to me; it’s my life," he said. Although he is open to discussions, Cross confirmed he is now officially a free agent.
Meanwhile, Cross and Scarlett have started booking independent appearances, including a notable event, Big Event EXS, scheduled in New York on November 15th. Whether the ongoing fan demand and chants will influence WWE to reconsider negotiations remains uncertain.
Fan Take: This development highlights how passionate fan support can impact a wrestler’s career beyond the WWE system, keeping the door open for potential returns or major storylines. For WWE fans, Cross’s free agent status injects fresh excitement and unpredictability into the wrestling scene, possibly setting the stage for more compelling narratives.
