Karrion Kross Loses To Sami Zayn At SummerSlam Amid WWE Exit Rumors

Karrion Kross and Sami Zayn’s rivalry is finally over.

Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross have been feuding for several weeks on Monday Night RAW. The two went head-to-head at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia in a match that ended in Zayn’s victory.

Nevertheless, Kross continued to attack the former Intercontinental Champion, leading to their second square-off on RAW, which Zayn lost.

The former Bloodline member and his rival competed against each other for a third time tonight at SummerSlam. During the match, Scarlett shockingly offered Zayn the steel pipe. However, the latter refused to use it, delivering a Heluva Kick instead to Kross to secure victory.

After the bout, the former Intercontinental Champion signaled to Kross that their rivalry was over. The former NXT Champion nodded in agreement.

Is Karrion Kross Leaving WWE After SummerSlam?

Karrion Kross’ contract is reportedly set to expire this month. According to the latest reports, the former NXT Champion and his wife, Scarlett have yet to sign new deals.

Speaking on his Wrestling with Freddie podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. claimed the result of Kross’ SummerSlam match against Sami Zayn would indicate his future in the company.

The Hollywood star pointed out that Kross’ victory would mean he had signed a new deal. Meanwhile, his defeat would be a huge hint that he is on his way out of the Stamford-based company.

With the 40-year-old’s defeat tonight at The Biggest Party of the Summer, his WWE future seems to be up in the air.
