Karrion Kross was released by WWE recently, and the fans are cheering for him constantly during the WWE shows. "We Want Kross" chant is all over the arena during the episodes of SmackDown and RAW. Last Friday on SmackDown, the fans were so loud in this chant that Kross himself answered the fans on Twitter by saying, "I Hear You."

A lot of WWE fans even suspected that this release was a work. But ultimately, it was verified by Kross that it was the legitimate release. There has been no confirmation on where he would be going after this release. A large number of fans believe that he should try his luck in AEW, while some fans believe that he could work on the independent circuit and earn fame much like Matt Cardona.

Former WWE Champion explained how Karrion Kross can earn success after his WWE release

Presently, he has a lot of auctions in his hand; he can go to a wrestling promotion or even on the independent circuit. Professional wrestling legend and former WWE United States champion Matt Hardy explained on his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, the Tag Team Legend believed that Karrion Kross should try his luck in AEW or in Japan;

“He’s very good at keeping his name in the headlines. I can’t say that. I like Kevin. I like Karrion Kross, Killer Kross. I’ve never got to interact with him a lot, I’ve got to interact with him some. I got to work with him one time at Future Stars of Wrestling, which is pretty cool.

Karrion Kross was released by WWE recently after his contract expired

"That was his home base, and I would go out there and do quite a few shots back in the day for Joe DeFalco! Shout out [to] Joe DeFalco, FSW. But we had a fun deal that one time we worked out there. And then we’ve never been in one place for a long time together or whatnot.”

“I’ve always been I’ve always been curious and kind of intrigued by his process. Because he is a guy that that does kind of want to push the boundaries of like, ‘What is real, what is fake, what is fiction, what is fact, what is reality?’ And he’s good at mixing that up in pro wrestling. And I think he’s done a great job doing this because there’s a lot of people that, they were certain that this was a big work that WWE was doing.

Karrion Kross is not active in any wrestling promotion right now

"And I think with the way everything has gone down, I think his contract has expired. You know, that’s my professional take on it, just from looking at the scenario. It could be something bigger at play. But if that is the case, and they’ve done this pitch perfect.”

Kross looks set to explore the independent circuit presently, much like he did after his first release. This time, he has earned a lot of popularity among the WWE fans before getting released, so it should not be very difficult for him to earn success on the independent circuit. Working in a bigger promotion like NJPW or AEW can also be a huge boost for if career.
