The WWE Draft saw some significant moves as Edge was drafted to SmackDown after being on RAW for several years. This change has opened the doors for a highly anticipated rivalry between Edge and Karrion Kross.
The history between Edge and Karrion Kross
In 2021, Edge made his first-ever NXT appearance after winning the Royal Rumble match, teasing the possibility of going after the brand’s top championship. The WWE Hall of Famer was later involved in an intriguing backstage segment with Karrion Kross, and the tension between the two was palpable. While the company had planted the seeds for a match between them, the exciting creative possibilities were never explored.
Where Karrion Kross stands currently
Karrion Kross was seen as a significant talent during his days on NXT, and many believed that he would have a bright future on the main roster. However, after an underwhelming run on RAW, Kross and Scarlett were among those released in November 2021 due to budget cuts. Kross was later brought back, but his second WWE stint has not been as impactful as initially envisioned. Recently, Kross was drafted to SmackDown where a potential program with Edge could help elevate his status.
Edge’s upcoming retirement
Since his miraculous return to the ring in 2020, Edge’s performances have been impressive and nostalgic. However, the 49-year-old recently revealed that he might only have another year of wrestling left in him. There have also been rumors of a possible move to AEW to reunite with Christian, but Edge’s retirement match could ideally take place within WWE during the coming year.
