Karrion Kross' contract expired recently, and WWE decided not to extend his present contract, and they believed letting him go was the right choice. Kross gained massive popularity among the fans recently, and during the WrestleMania weeks, he started to get support from the fans which was very much visible.
But WWE completely failed to utilise its popularity and despite being one of the most over stars of the roster, the promotion decided not to keep him. It caused massive outrage among the fans, and they are chanting "We Want Kross" during the WWE weekly shows like SmackDown and RAW.
Wrestling Legend discusses the release of Karrion Kross
Professional wrestling legend Vince Russo accepted the fact that WWE made a mistake by letting Karrion Kross go. He had a number of names in his mind who could have been released instead of the former two times NXT champion. Speaking on his “Bro Down” podcast, he gave the names who could have been released from WWE instead of Kross;
Kross was quite over with the fans recently
“Guys, think about this for a second. Let this soak in. Michin is employed by the WWE, and Karrion Kross and Scarlett are not. Let that soak in a little bit. Just a little bit, let that soak in, bro. Okay? Michin has a spot on the roster, and Karrion Kross does not.
WWE decided not to renew his contract and let him go
“You want to low-ball Karrion Kross, whatever you’re gonna do. Meanwhile, you’re paying Michin, you got the other one, what’s her name, Fab Four, K-Fab? B-Fab. What’s she doing? Absolutely useless. I mean, literally, those are two people on the roster that are absolutely useless, and Karrion Kross doesn’t have a job.”
There are many other wrestlers who are not doing absolutely anything, but are still active in the promotion. Maybe WWE has any plans for them for the future, like we can expect Michin to feature on the women's mid card division as she was featuring earlier. But letting Kross go when he was extremely over will always be remembered as one of the worst decisions ever made.
