WWE Superstar Karrion Kross had one of the greatest runs on NXT. After debuting in May 2020, Kross quickly captured the NXT Championship. However, all the glory he achieved during those days came in the pandemic era. Recently, the Doom Walker talked about the possibility of returning to the Gold brand.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Karrion Kross stated that he will return to NXT only if the story is right. “The narrative should make sense, and it should be under the right circumstances. I wouldn’t just want to go back for the hell of it. I would want to go back for something good for them,” he said.

The 38-year-old only suffered one defeat during his time with the brand. He had amazing feuds with stars like Finn Balor, Adam Cole, and Tommaso Ciampa. The Herald of Doomsday was called up to the main roster back in 2022 alongside his wife Scarlett Bordeaux. However, his lackluster feuds and poor booking halted his momentum on the main roster.
