Karrion Kross is back in WWE following a shocking return during the main event segment on Smackdown and he was joined by Scarlett.

Kross was reportedly considered a “name of interest” from a Fightful Select report earlier on Friday noting that there were many people within the industry that expected Kross to re-sign with WWE now that Triple H is in charge of WWE Creative.

When WWE chose to release Kross and his wife Scarlett on November 4th last year, it came as a surprise since Kross was pushed heavily in NXT as a two-time NXT Champion. With Vince McMahon running creative, WWE tried a different presentation for Kross compared to what they had done in NXT. When Kross was on Raw, he was wearing headgear as part of his entrance and didn’t have an elaborate entrance, nor did he have Scarlett by his side.

On this week’s Smackdown from Greenville, South Carolina, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was in the ring with The Usos for a main event promo segment. Drew McIntyre interrupted Roman’s speech noting that if he didn’t go out there then “The Tribal Queef” (that’s what Drew called him) would keep talking until the show went off the air. When Drew looked like he was ready to fight, the lights went dark and some mysterious music played.

That’s when Karrion Kross attacked McIntyre from behind. Kross sent McIntyre into the steel steps and followed up with a running forearm to McIntyre’s back to knock him out on the floor. Meanwhile, Scarlett went toward the ring and put an hourglass in front of Reigns. Kross pointed at Reigns, then gestured to his left wrist as if he was wearing a watch. It was a reference to Karrion’s “Tick Tock” catchphrase that is a warning for his rivals that he is coming for them. It’s what Kross used in NXT during his run there. Reigns calmly patted his Universal Title as if to tell Kross that he was not worried about him.

Kross used the name Killer Kross when he wrestled outside of WWE. Kross defeated Davey Boy Smith Jr. at Ric Flair’s Last Match event this past Sunday.

As for Scarlett, she has an Onlyfans account that is very popular. It’s unknown at this time if she will be able to keep it while she works for WWE.

Kross and Scarlett were married this past April in Alaska.
