It has been noted that the ongoing rivalry between Karrion Kross and The New Day has crossed limits. On Raw, Kross dropped a reference of Brock Lesnar squashing Kofi Kingston for the WWE title a few years back.
It has been noted that right before Kross’s scheduled match with Xavier Woods, he decided to play mind games and brought up Woods’ injured ally, Kofi Kingston. He was recently taken out by Kross, and his stable a few weeks ago on Raw. He was on the sidelines due to injury.
However, Michael Cole announced during the broadcast that Kofi Kingston participated in WWE’s recent tour to Japan, which further aggravated his injury. Karrion Kross brought it up as well, mentioning Kofi’s selfishness in not letting Xavier succeed.
Kross also went one step ahead and mocked Kofi Kingston for losing the WWE Championship in six seconds to Brock Lesnar on an episode of SmackDown in 2019. Although he did not mention Lesnar’s name, his motive of insulting Kingston and influencing Xavier’s mind was done, which resulted in Kross picking up the win over Woods.
“Why don’t you tell that one arm basta*d Kofi Kingston that he should have retired after he lost the WWE Title in just six seconds.”

Brock Lesnar’s name was included in the s*x trafficking case against Vince McMahon and WWE seemingly tried to cut ties with him. However, recently, Triple H seemingly noted that the former WWE Champion might’ve received the green light to return. Having said that, the WWE will need clearance from the legal team, especially during the ongoing federal investigation.
