McIntyre discusses Kross’ return.

Two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross returned to WWE along with Scarlett Bordeaux on the August 5th episode of SmackDown. He ambushed Drew McIntyre and then he and Scarlett signaled to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns that he has his sights set on him.

Kross was released from WWE in November 2021 after being moved to the main roster that summer. McIntyre commented on Kross’ return when asked about it by Chris Van Vliet. He said he was surprised to see Karrion back and did not know until the very last second.

He spoke highly of Kross, stating that he’s worked hard for an opportunity and deserves it, but it’s not going to come at his own expense.

McIntyre was present on the 8/15 Raw. He had a promo segment with Kevin Owens that led to a singles match between them. The match resulted in a disqualification due to The Usos’ involvement.
