Rumor Killer on Killer Kross’ MLW Future & Potential WWE Return

Ever since Killer Kross lost the MLW World Heavyweight Championship to Josh Bishop, rumors about him finishing up with the company and returning to WWE NXT have been floating around on social media.

This morning, Mike Johnson of PWInsider debunked the rumor in his exclusive report. According to Johnson, though Kross remains a free agent, he isn’t yet done with Major League Wrestling.

The report added that Kross and WWE haven’t had any formal discussions regarding a potential return to the promotion.

As noted, Killer Kross’ reign as MLW World Heavyweight Champion was ended by Josh Bishop following a brutal Last Man Standing Match at MLW Saturday Night SuperFight last weekend. He had held the belt for 282 days. Kross returned to the independent circuit shortly after his second stint with WWE ended in August 2025.
