To say Karrion Kross’ debut on Monday Night Raw was a disappointment to many WWE fans would be an understatement. Kross arrived in Dallas this week as the reigning NXT Champion, having never lost a singles match in a WWE ring and fresh off beating four of NXT’s biggest names at NXT TakeOver: In Your House last month. And yet as he made his way down to the ring, fans could immediately tell something was off. Scarlett, Kross’ manager and real-life partner, was nowhere to be seen. And the balls-to-the-wall entrance that had been part of Kross’ presentation for over a year had been reduced to puffs of smoke lingering around the ring. Then, to top it all off, Kross lost to Jeff Hardy in just two minutes.

The heat he’s going to get from the future multiple sadistic Jeff Hardy beatings will be far more beneficial than a predictable win you’ll forget about by Tuesday.
