3) NXT Star Teases Return
Karrion Kross was forced to vacate the NXT Championship a few months ago due to a shoulder injury. Kross recently provided fans with an update on Instagram and he appears to be close to returning.
Here is what he wrote:
I have deliberately neglected to answer any questions about my health from fans since August 22nd for a variety of reasons. I see them everyday though. And the check in’s have been sincerely appreciated.
However, Today I will answer your question.
I feel absurdly stronger now than I did even before July. I have not squandered this time away.
I have always been addicted to challenges and avenues of improvement since I was a small kid. And I see no point in returning if I’m not coming back even stronger than I was to begin with.
See you all again when the T I M E is right. Which as you know… could be any second. Or maybe when you least expect it.
EXCELSIOR ⏳💀⏳ #TickTock
My Take:
- Kross vs Finn Balor would be a great main event of the next Takeover event in December. It would be an easy storyline to set up as Balor didn’t beat Kross to win the title.
