Killer Kross could be headed back to WWE, if what Fightful has heard ends up being true.

Fightful Select has learned that the former NXT Champion had been discussed as a name of interest for WWE to bring back to the company. Several within the industry outright expected him to return, and one source indicated they believed it was already in the company's plans, though we've yet to confirm that whatsoever. We were able to confirm that his name had at least been discussed on WWE's end.

Kross was booked for an ROH appearance at Supercard of Honor before the company's regime change, and was contacted for an AEW booking that he passed on against Wardlow. Kross also has worked Major League Wrestling and NJPW dates since his 2021 WWE release as well.

Kross was brought up to the WWE Raw roster last year without any major creative plans in place, and without his wife Scarlett Bordeaux, who had been an integral part of the act. After being repackaged with a highly criticized presentation, he was released. Triple H had booked Killer Kross to be a top star in NXT, winning the NXT Championship twice. We've not heard what this means for Scarlett.

Fightful reached out to Kross but haven't heard back.
