Kross is fine in the ring. He got over organically. But it's also he got over because he wasn't being used enough in the fans eye. If he was higher on the card he may not be that over.
He wouldn't, no :lol Barring something pretty surprising

with regards to his contract. He himself has said it ended August 10. Scarlett put out a post thanking people and accepting bookings. I for one am happy to see that there is a performer who isn't out here just telling people he re-signed. Also when do we believe he actually is no longer with WWE if he isn't?

by the way, just posted in a fairly dead subforum, but UFC is moving to Paramount+. No more PPV model. Select numbered shows will be on CBS

now don't get me wrong they could very easily carry the momentum he has to a higher spot on the card. And it is weird that they actually use someone right up to their contract expiry, but it's not unfathomable.

I do think it's fine to work contract expiry angles fwiw. Less so when people are already kinda aggro at your booking decisions, and you *maybe* are working an angle where a popular and disgruntled worker is looking to leave. WWE has done it before and the short term benefits, I'd say, were not worth it. If you go back to the summer of Punk in WWE, yes absolutely the fans were higher than they'd been in years for the first month or so and yes there was a

There was some great memories but ultimately they botched it and burnt the fans and it was like 12 years until they regained widespread favor among the audience

Yeah the Punk one is probably the biggest one. And arguably that re-signing was not a good decision for Punk given what it led to.
