Killer Kross Returning To WWE Rumour Debunked

Killer Kross has been featured as one of Major League Wrestling's top stars over the past year but a rumour emerged over the past week which suggested the 41-year-old could be on his way out of MLW and on his way back to WWE NXT.

According to PWInsider, however, WWE and Killer Kross have not held any formal talks about a return, nor has Kross finished up with Major League Wrestling despite dropping the MLW World Heavyweight Championship to Josh Bishop at MLW Saturday Night SuperFight on Saturday, November 7. Kross was in action the following day for MLW at the promotion's Fusion taping, during which he teamed with IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji and Mistico against Contra Unit's Big Damo, Brick Savage, and Okumura.

Killer Kross and wife Scarlett's second WWE run came to an end in August 2025 when their contracts expired. They have been two of the top free agents in pro wrestling since then, performing for MLW and on the indies for the likes of Awesome Championship Wrestling, House of Glory, and Australia's WSW.

Kross did fuel speculation about a potential WWE return earlier this year when the former NXT Champion received a text message from Paul Heyman during an interview.
