Before that, Kross is scheduled to compete at DEFY Wrestling on September 19, which would officially mark his first post-WWE match, unless another booking is added before then. The appearance will also be his first time wrestling for DEFY since 2020.
Kross parted ways with WWE on August 10 when his contract expired. Since then, he has already been confirmed for multiple appearances in addition to these independent bookings.
