Following the official announcement of Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross for WWE Night of Champions, Kross has issued a heartfelt public statement, marking his first premium live event appearance since WrestleMania 40.
The match was confirmed during the June 23, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw, where Zayn struck Kross during a backstage confrontation, igniting a rivalry that quickly escalated into a high-stakes showdown set for this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Kross took to social media to share his reaction to the upcoming match — and to thank the WWE Universe for their support in helping make it happen.
“All of you online & especially live at the shows made this happen,” Kross wrote. “Stay loud for what you like and what you want to see. Keep it •positive• and they will always listen.”
He closed his statement with a message that emphasized his connection with fans and his personal philosophy:
“In closing: I told you, I’m very big on loyalty. When you show up for me, I’ll show out for you.”
The match against Zayn represents a long-awaited return to the big stage for Kross, who has remained a polarizing and enigmatic presence on WWE programming. With his trademark intensity and fan backing growing stronger, Night of Champions could be a turning point in his WWE resurgence.
