IMPACT Wrestling and Killer Kross have officially split.
The wrestling company hadn’t used the star in several months after he had publicly requested his release and spoke about issues he had with management (such as being told to blade without blood testing being done). Today, IMPACT announced that they had released Kross. The statement on their website reads, “IMPACT Wrestling has come to terms on the release of Kevin Kesar (Killer Kross).”
No word yet on if he has a timed non-compete clause or if he can sign elsewhere immediately. Kross has stayed active in AAA and on the indie scene, so this will free him up for even more indie dates.
Kross released a video on social media teasing possible opponents in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Ring of Honor, WWE, NXT, and All Elite Wrestling. For whatever it’s worth, Kross’ girlfriend, Scarlett Bordeaux, recently signed with WWE.
