Karrion Kross Debuts New Look On August 23 WWE Raw

Having lost the NXT Championship, Karrion Kross appears to have a new lease on life - and new ring-gear to go with it - on WWE Monday Night Raw.

Kross returned to the WWE main roster for the August 23 episode of Raw, 24 hours after dropping the NXT Title to Samoa Joe at NXT TakeOver: 36, and faced off against another former NXT star in Ricochet.

As he made his way to the ring, Kross wore a new entrance mask and a red, harness-like contraption. Both were in keeping with the post-apocalyptic character that Kross has cultivated since joining WWE last year, with shades of gladiator-like attire to each as well.

Kross removed the helmet, but kept his torso-wear on, as he decimated Ricochet in their short match. The former United States Champion tapped out to the Kross Jacket.

It is worth noting that Kross was once again not accompanied to the ring by Scarlett, who has been missing in recent weeks amid reports she is taking some time off.
