WWE Star Competing At Indy Wrestling Event During WrestleMania Week
A veteran superstar will be in action during WrestleMania weekend at a non-WWE event.
It is a new era in WWE because more opportunities are being given to wrestlers who want to compete outside of the company they work there. While the TNA-WWE partnership has opened up that once-forbidden door, other places are booking WWE talent as well.
Natalya has been a part of WWE for nearly 20 years, yet she’s going to compete for Bloodsport on April 17th and at NWA’s Crockett Cup on May 17th as well.
Joining Natalya at the Bloodsport event on April 17th will be WWE Raw superstar Karrion Kross. In an announcement made on social media, it was revealed that Kross will be in action at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport event on April 17th in Las Vegas.
Kross reacted to the news on social media.
Everyone asked me for years when I would come back to Bloodsport.
It was a massive honor to be a part of this event.As per The Warmaster today:
You now have your answer.And all I can think is…
If I can see their legs,
They’re probably already broken.⏳

Karrion Kross Wants To Face Sami Zayn At WWE WrestleMania 41
On the WWE Raw brand, Karrion Kross (along with his wife Scarlett) is known as a guy who likes to get in the ear of other wrestlers and tell them things that they don’t necessarily want to hear, but they are things that Kross has no problem saying.
Recently, Kross has been in the ear of Sami Zayn quite often. In a recent interview, Kross said he would like to wrestle Zayn at WrestleMania 41.
“I have a feeling it’s gonna be Sami Zayn (that I’m wrestling next) and I don’t know when but I feel like that’s coming. We’re getting to a boiling point.
I mean, that would be wonderful (if it’s at WrestleMania). He would be an excellent opponent at WrestleMania.”
Sami Zayn is currently off WWE television while selling storyline injuries and also due to his request for time off.
