Karrion Kross didn’t wait long to address fans after his WWE contract officially expired at midnight on August 10 — and now the internet is running wild with speculation.
Shortly after being moved to WWE’s alumni section and having his entrance theme “Dead Silent” pulled from Spotify and Apple Music, Kross took to Twitter to promote a YouTube premiere titled “My WWE Contract Ends Today,” sending a short but heartfelt message directly to his supporters.
“I can’t thank you all enough. I hope to see you all in the chat. I’ll be there. See you in 30 minutes.”
Within hours of that post, “#WeWantKross” shot up to the No. 3 spot on Twitter’s sports trending list with over 16,000 posts, most of them from fans calling for him to remain in WWE.
Meanwhile, over on Facebook and Instagram, the mood was split. Many users claimed they believe the whole situation is part of a storyline, insisting Kross hasn’t actually left despite multiple online reports confirming his contract expiration.
WWE talent and creative sources have privately maintained that “as of now, the departure is real,” but with the wrestling industry’s history of swerves, some fans aren’t convinced this is the end of the road.
Kross’ public message and the immediate fan reaction prove that he’s still one of the most talked-about names in the business right now. Whether this leads to a surprise return or a jump to another promotion, one thing is certain — the crowd is loud, and they’re not letting him go quietly.
If Karrion Kross is truly gone from WWE, it’s clear his fanbase is going to follow him anywhere. The only question left is where he’ll show up next — and how long fans will have to wait to find out.
