The wrestling world is buzzing after Karrion Kross delivered a pointed two-word message that speaks volumes about his current WWE predicament. The former NXT Champion’s frustration reached a boiling point when he was completely overlooked for Money in the Bank qualifying opportunities, prompting a social media response that has fans speculating about his next move.
The Message That Says Everything
When WWE unveiled their Money in the Bank qualifier lineup, one notable absence caught everyone’s attention – and none more so than Kross himself. His response on X was brief but loaded with meaning.
“Yep. I saw it too.”
Those four words carry the weight of months of frustration for a wrestler who many believe deserves better positioning on WWE’s flagship show. The cryptic nature of the post has wrestling insiders reading between the lines about Kross’s current mindset.
Money in the Bank Picture Takes Shape Without Kross
The ladder match lineup is nearly complete, featuring an impressive roster of talent from both brands. Raw has secured spots for high-flyers Penta and “Monday Night Messiah” Seth Rollins, while SmackDown brings powerhouse representation through Solo Sikoa, the smooth Andrade, and fan-favorite LA Knight.
The final qualifying spot will be determined on this week’s Raw in what promises to be a barnburner. CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano (Chad Gable’s current persona) will battle for the last ticket to the premium live event.
Fan Theories and Wishful Thinking
Wrestling social media has exploded with theories about how Kross could still insert himself into the Money in the Bank conversation. Many fans are hoping for a classic WWE swerve where Kross attacks one of the remaining competitors and claims their spot through sheer dominance.
The most popular target for this fantasy booking scenario appears to be El Grande Americano. Gable’s character work has been entertaining, but his upcoming commitment to face El Hijo del Vikingo at Worlds Collide on June 7 makes him an unlikely winner of the qualifier.
Two Months of Television Limbo
Kross’s frustration becomes more understandable when examining his recent WWE trajectory. The imposing superstar hasn’t stepped between the ropes on Raw since April 14, when he suffered a defeat to AJ Styles in singles competition.
Since that loss, Kross has been relegated to backstage segments and brief appearances that don’t showcase his in-ring abilities. For a performer of his caliber and previous championship pedigree, this creative direction represents a significant step backward.
The Ticking Time Bomb Factor
Karrion Kross built his reputation as an unstoppable force who strikes when opponents least expect it. His current silence on WWE programming might be the calm before the storm that fans have been waiting for.
With Money in the Bank approaching and one qualifying spot remaining, could this be the moment where Kross takes matters into his own hands? His cryptic message suggests he’s watching closely, and in WWE, that usually means someone’s about to feel the wrath of overlooked talent.
