Earlier this week, it was reported that the two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross' contract is set to expire this year.

Despite having been favored by Triple H in his first run in NXT, the 39-year-old has struggled to make an impact on the main roster after he made his return to WWE in the summer of 2022.

Although Kross has not had many big matches in recent months, his personality has shone through via various backstage interviews and segments. Therefore, the company may be keen to keep him on their payroll with Karrion potentially in the process of finally finding a main roster persona that works.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, former WWE head writer Vince Russo praised both Kross and his wife Scarlett, stating that the pair's creativity is heavily underused.

"I've always liked Karrion Kross. You could see this guy is so creative. Is he married to her (Scarlett)? Beautiful, beautiful. Don't use her at all. This would be the only possible thing that I would have any interest in whatsoever." [From 7:40 onwards]
