Karrion Kross Reacts to Crowd Support at WWE Night of Champions – Karrion Kross may not have walked away victorious at WWE Night of Champions 2025, but the support he received in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resonated deeply with the former NXT Champion.
Despite falling short in his match against Sami Zayn, Kross was met with a surprising wave of appreciation from the live audience. Following the match, the WWE Superstar took to social media to reflect on the overwhelming response.
“Didn’t ask for shortcuts,” Kross wrote on X. “Didn’t ask for favors. We just showed up—every time—staying ready even when no one was watching. Saudi Arabia, you saw it. You felt it. And that means more than you know. To the rest of the world watching, With your never ending support: Thank you for reminding us who this is really for.”
Scarlett, who has been by Kross’ side both on-screen and off, also expressed her gratitude in a heartfelt post.
“I’ve watched Kross give everything,” she wrote. “For years. For this. Saudi Arabia, you saw him. You felt him. You respected him. And as someone who knows what he’s worth THANK YOU. I’ve never been more proud.”
The moment clearly struck a chord not just with those in the arena, but with fans around the globe. The hashtag #KarrionKrossDeserveBetter began trending across social platforms throughout Saturday and Sunday, as viewers rallied behind the SmackDown star.
While Kross’ win-loss record may not reflect it, Saturday’s show of support was a reminder that fan sentiment can often be more powerful than scripted outcomes. As of now, WWE has not commented on any future plans for Kross, but the groundswell of backing he’s received could potentially shift momentum in his favor moving forward.
