WWE Rumor Roundup: Big update on The Rock's return, Hall of Famer finally cleared to compete, McMahon 'testing' top superstar by making him job? (27th July 2021)

#1 Possible reason for Karrion Kross' loss on WWE RAW last week

WWE NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his RAW debut last week. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a quick loss at the hands of Jeff Hardy. Though Kross did manage to pick up a win on this week's RAW against Keith Lee, his booking has been perplexing to the audience.

WWE icon Eric Bischoff revealed the possible reason behind Kross losing to Jeff Hardy last week. Speaking on his radio show 'For The Heat', Bischoff said that Vince McMahon could be testing the young superstar to see if he is a professional or not.

''And I don't know what the rationale or psychology is before having a guy lose, especially someone coming out of NXT and being his first shot at the roster and coming out and losing. There may be a reason for it. It may be Vince's way of testing. He may want to see how a talent reacts in that situation,'' said Bischoff.

It remains to be seen if Kross will make it on the main roster or not. Two of the big reasons for him being popular in NXT are his grandoise entrance and manager Scarlett. Both being absent on RAW.
