At WWE SummerSlam earlier this month, Brock Lesnar made a surprising comeback, which drew a lot of attention. During the post-show, Triple H, WWE’s chief content officer, responded to fan chants that were actually calling for Karrion Kross. Fans were chanting “We want Kross,” but Triple H misheard it as “We want Block” and replied, “You want Block, you have him.” This led to speculation about whether Triple H genuinely misunderstood the fans or was trying to shift the spotlight towards Lesnar. Karrion Kross later addressed the moment on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” mentioning that Triple H laughed and seemed to joke about the mix-up. He appreciated the fans’ support, noting that the chants happened on multiple nights and that it felt great to be wanted by the crowd.
Recently, Karrion Kross’s WWE contract expired, and the company opted not to renew it. This decision surprised many since Kross was a consistent presence on WWE programming and had strong merchandise sales.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans because Karrion Kross has been a rising star with a dedicated following, and his departure could signal a shift in WWE’s talent strategy. It also raises questions about how WWE manages and values emerging talent, which impacts the future landscape of professional wrestling.
