Karrion Kross appeared for the second time on Monday Night Raw for his match against Keith Lee, who made his in-ring return on last week’s Raw.
He won his second match on the main roster, which soothes the WWE Universe, as people was fairly disappointed because Jeff Hardy defeated Kross in less than two minutes last week on Raw.
Kross was scheduled to face Hardy in a rematch but WWE pulled Hardy from the programming in the wake of his COVID-19 situation.

After dominating Lee inside the match, Kross was in an interview after the match ended in which he clearly seems like he is not over his loss against Jeff Hardy last week.

He said that he understands why Hardy cheated to win the match, he even added that if he was him, he would’ve done the same. Before concluding the interview, Kross made sure that he and Hardy are not done, and he will definitely get his revenge on him.
“Tough loss, it’s an interesting choice of words. I would say Jeff Hardy cheated, but then again, he might be the smartest man in WWE, because if I were him that’s exactly what I would’ve done. It lit a fire in me. I need to understand and not lose sight that people will do anything they possibly can to get out of that ring in one piece. But Jeff Hardy and I, [laughs] we’re not done yet, not by a long shot.”
