Killer Kross isn’t heading back to WWE just yet.
After Kross lost the MLW World Heavyweight Championship over the weekend, a rumor spread that he was done with the promotion and headed to WWE NXT. PWInsider’s Mike Johnson says there’s nothing to it at this time.
According to the report, Kross and WWE have not had any formal discussions about a return. Kross also hasn’t finished up with MLW.
He remains a free agent. He’s working for MLW and Australia’s WSW, along with whatever other promotions he and Scarlett Bordeaux choose to perform in.
Josh Bishop beat Kross for the title in a Last Man Standing match at Saturday Night SuperFight on Nov. 7 in Cicero, Illinois. Bishop put Kross through a table with his Exit 187 finisher, then kicked away the chair Kross was using to get up before the 10-count.
Kross had held the title since January, when he won the Battle Riot VIII match by last eliminating Matt Riddle.
Kross and Bordeaux returned to MLW after leaving WWE in 2025.
