WWE fans call for Karrion Kross on SmackDown and the wrestler responds

The departure of Karrion Kross from WWE continues to be a hot topic, and last night on SmackDown, fans made it clear that they still want to see him in action. During the confrontation between Sami Zayn and the United States champion Solo Sikoa, the Montreal audience chanted a loud "We want Kross" that did not go unnoticed.

Kross himself reacted shortly after on his social media with a brief but forceful message: "I hear you". A direct statement to the followers who continue to support him despite his contract with WWE officially expiring on August 10.

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Kross insisted that his departure is real and not part of a storyline. "My contract ended last week. I actually didn't receive an offer until last week," declared Kross. "I received the offer. I wanted to know how they arrived at the valuation of that offer. I was just asking for some information, metrics, analysis that supported: 'This is how we arrived at this figure'. When I asked for that, they were not willing to provide it and told me I had 24 hours to accept the offer or they would withdraw it. The next day we talked. I asked if they had the information, and they didn't. I said, 'I can't make an informed decision without that information. I would like to keep the dialogue open'. They withdrew the offer. That's where we stand."

Meanwhile, Kross and Scarlett have begun to fill their schedule with independent bookings and appearances at conventions, including their presence at The Big Event EXS in New York on November 15. It remains to be seen if the public support and chants on television will prompt WWE to resume negotiations with him.

Despite many specialized media outlets leaking that Karrion Kross and Scarlett's departure is real, there are still many people who believe it is a work and that they have probably renewed their contracts, but WWE would be waiting for the right moment to bring them back to television.
