We may not have seen the last of Karrion Kross in WWE.
This past Saturday saw Sami Zayn defeat Karrion Kross at Night One of SummerSlam in a match that many believe may be his last in the company, with reports indicating that his contract is set to expire imminently without a renewal appearing close.
However, during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that whilst the story about his contract nearing expiration is legitimate, he has received an offer from WWE.
“I think the Karrion Kross thing smells like an angle…They plugged his book and then Paul Heyman today on Ariel Helwani’s show talked about him being like this new Steve Austin, so it’s like he ain’t going anywhere. But I was told the story about him not being signed to a contract, I heard that is legit, but he did get an offer. Maybe when the story that he didn’t get an offer was written it was accurate, but I was told he’s gotten an offer and I don’t expect him going anywhere. It was almost like the way this whole thing went down that I was thinking the R-Truth thing was a shoot and it did so well that it’s like maybe we can work everyone with another R-Truth story…They’re gonna work and work and work because they think that’s the deal. People got mad at me for even suggesting this, but the amount of distrust that will be there six months from now is pretty damn high.”

Both Karrion Kross and Scarlett were reportedly not present at this week’s Monday Night RAW taping according to Fightful Select, who noted that the pair’s deals were set to expire this weekend.
With support for Kross continuing to grow amongst the WWE Universe, many fans are hopeful that the pair will remain with the company.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the contract status of both Karrion Kross and Scarlett as soon as we hear more.
