Killer Kross Believes The Door Has Always Been Open With AEW

Killer Kross discusses the possibility of joining All Elite Wrestling.

Back in November 2025, Tony Khan was asked whether he had any interest in Killer Kross joining All Elite Wrestling, to which he noted that he had not spoken to Kross in many years but praised him and suggested it would be an interesting possibility to consider in the future.

Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Killer Kross was asked if he had ever spoken with All Elite Wrestling about being involved with the promotion, and while he chose not to go into detail about any past discussions, he claimed that he feels the door has always been open for him in AEW.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tony [Khan], and he knows that. I prefer to keep those conversations private out of respect for Tony and myself. I think it’s [the door] always been open.”

Killer Kross, formerly known as Karrion Kross, left WWE alongside his wife Scarlett Bordeaux in August last year after their contracts expired, and later revealed he was given just 24 hours to sign a new contract offer, which did not include Scarlett being re-signed alongside him.

Since his WWE departure, Killer Kross has made a number of appearances across the independent scene and currently reigns as the MLW World Heavyweight Champion after capturing the title in January earlier this year.
