Karrion Kross to make NXT in-ring debut this week

Posted: May 5th 2020 By: Joseph Currier

The former Killer Kross' first match for WWE is set to air on NXT this week.

WWE.com has confirmed that Karrion Kross will make his NXT in-ring debut on this Wednesday's NXT episode. His opponent for the match hasn't been revealed.

A video aired on NXT last Wednesday hyping that Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux would officially arrive on the brand this week. WWE is only referring to Bordeaux as "Scarlett."

NXT has been building up Kross and Scarlett's debut with apocalyptic-style vignettes of a clock ticking toward midnight. That the videos were for Kross was officially revealed on the March 25 episode of NXT. Kross and Scarlett also made a brief appearance in the background as Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae were walking to their car after Gargano's match against Tommaso Ciampa last month.

Three weeks ago, Kross attacked Ciampa backstage in the main event angle of NXT.

This week's episode of NXT will feature two title matches. Adam Cole is defending the NXT Championship against Velveteen Dream, while Io Shirai is challenging Charlotte Flair for the NXT Women's Championship. Gargano vs. Dominik Dijakovic will also take place on the show, and Finn Balor will call out the person who attacked him in the locker room two weeks ago.
