#4 Killer Kross rejects a 6-figure deal

There has been a lot of talk about the reasons why Killer Kross is not being featured on Impact Wrestling. Reports have indicated that the primary reason for this is the fact that Killer Kross did not agree to blade himself at Slammiversary as per the directives of the company. Instead, they had to use 'fake blood' as Kross was adamant on not cutting himself.

In the latest twist in this story, Impact Wrestling reportedly offered Kross a six-figure deal when the two parties met, however, Kross rejected the deal and is currently bound by his original contract which still has 18 months remaining.

More details on the deal as per PWI:

The report states Kross was offered a three-year deal worth $40,000 the first year, $60,000 in the second, and $80,000 in the final year. In total, $180,000 over the course of the three years. Another source told Johnson that those numbers are "outdated" and the final offer was much higher.
