#1. WWE cut down on time for Karrion Kross and Jeff Hardy's first match

Jeff Hardy and Killer Kross (f.k.a. Karrion Kross in WWE) clashed for the first time on the July 19, 2021, episode of Monday Night RAW. The bout lasted less than two minutes, with The Charismatic Enigma emerging victoriously over the former NXT star.

Scarlett Bordeaux, Kross' fiancée, recently said during a K & S WrestleFest virtual signing that WWE wanted the match to be 10 minutes long as per the original backstage plans:

"Originally, I can say this, the match was supposed to be ten minutes. The first match with him [Killer Kross] and Jeff [Hardy] and then they get out there and it’s, ‘You have 90 seconds.’ Time got cut. That happens all the time out there."

Both stars had two subsequent televised rematches, which saw Karrion Kross defeat the WWE legend both times.

While the company released Scarlett and Kross from their contracts on November 4, higher-ups let Hardy go on December 9 after the veteran allegedly refused to go to rehab.
