Major WWE Superstar Makes a Huge Statement on His NXT Return

NXT TakeOver: WarGames was yet another impressive TakeOver event put forward by the Black and Gold Brand. Both WarGames matches were nothing short of extraordinary. It was during the show that a vignette for former NXT Champion Karrion Kross aired.

Karrion Kross returns to NXT

NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano was cutting a promo reflecting on his and the actions of his gang at TakeOver. Damian Priest interrupted and walked down to the ring to confront Gargano and Theory. Doomsday arrived for the ‘Archer of Infamy’ before he could get his hands on them.

Karrion Kross returned and viciously attacked Priest from behind. He sent him ribs first in the barricade and then powerbombed him right through the production area near the entrance stage.

Kross did not say a word, walked out of the building and got into his car where Scarlett waited for him.

Speaking on the return of Kross on the post-TakeOver media call, Triple H had mentioned it can come anytime, and it surely did! Fans certainly expected Kross to feud with Finn Balor and regain the NXT Championship that he never lost.

Medics checked Priest in the back after the brutal attack from Kross. There is no word on if he suffered any injuries.

Karrion Kross won the NXT Championship by defeating Keith Lee at NXT TakeOver: XXX, but it was during this match that Kross would suffer a shoulder injury that would force him to relinquish his championship.

Scarlett and Finn Balor faced off to kick off the show. After Balor left, Priest asked Scarlett to tell Kross that he should step up to him like a man. Maybe Damian Priest should’ve kept his words to himself.

Is Doomsday upon NXT? We’ll find out in the weeks to come. Share your thoughts on Karrion Kross’ return in the comments below!
