Karrion Kross is reportedly being considered for a huge title shot now that he’s returned to WWE.

As noted, Friday’s SmackDown saw Kross and Scarlett return to WWE at the end of the show. Kross attacked Drew McIntyre while McIntyre was preparing to hit the ring to brawl with The Bloodline. Kross destroyed McIntyre and left him laying. Scarlett then slid an hourglass into the ring as a gift to The Bloodline, while Kross taunted them by tapping his watch. This came after it was reported earlier in the day that WWE officials were discussing Kross’ return.

In an update, a new report from Fightful Select notes that Kross was brought back to the company with at least one big specific creative pitch in mind – a title shot for one of the titles currently held by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

The pitch has Kross being inserted into the McIntyre vs. Reigns feud, to be involved in a match for one of Reigns’ World Title belts, as opposed to both.

It was noted that USA Network officials want a top title featured on RAW more often because Reigns has been rarely used on WWE’s flagship TV show since unifying the titles at WrestleMania 38.

One pitch from the USA Network involved an interim title, but there’s no word yet on if that was ever seriously considered by WWE officials.​
So there definitely seems to be some indications then of them wanting to split those titles. I think by adding Kross into the mix they've really muddied the waters now when before it just seemed almost straight forward that Drew was gonna win at the Castle. It's definitely got me intrigued though.

As much as I am glad to see Kross and Scarlett back, I still want Drew to win one of titles at CaTC. Kross can chase Roman and beat him for the other. The titles do need to be split up.

Drew McIntyre has been protected a lot. I think that his last singles loss was last October. So if he ends up being used as a stepping stone for Kross after all of that then I don't get what WWE is thinking. They have a chance of helping both guys.

I can see this as a way for Roman to drop a title without eating a pin. Wouldn't mind seeing Kross being champ neither.

Splitting the titles and having Kross go to RAW wouldn’t be a bad idea. Then come Mania he could drop it to..

Kross as champion might honestly make me lose faith in Triple H pretty quickly. So I really hope that doesn’t happen.

I see Drew winning the WWE Championship and going back to Raw since they do lack babyfaces over there. Kross could chase Reigns on SD.

Sending Drew over to Raw would be suicide for SmackDown.

Which ironically would be the reason my faith was rewarded and why I start watching Raw again after two years.

Hey more power to you. I personally don’t get the hype around the guy. I probably was being a little over dramatic saying it would make me give up on Triple H :lol but yeah. He does nothing for me and I see him as a Midcard guy at best.

No hard feelings. I feel the same about Theory.
