5 WWE superstars who had a gimmick change in 2021

#2. Karrion Kross's gimmick changed when called-up to the main WWE roster

Karrion Kross made his WWE RAW debut in July 2021, but it hasn't been plain sailing for the former NXT Champion. He debuted without his valet, Scarlett, and ultimately lost in just two minutes on his first appearance.

Even now, WWE doesn't really seem to be giving any indication that they know what direction they're going in with Kross. He had recently been wearing gladiator attire, but now there is talk WWE wants to change things up. The easy solution would be to let him be the Karrion Kross, with Scarlett, that was so feared on NXT.
