Karrion Kross arrives on WWE Raw.
NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his WWE Raw debut on Monday, taking on Jeff Hardy. Kross tossed around Hardy for the majority of the match and was set to put Hardy away after a missing Swanton Bomb, but Hardy escaped the clutches of Kross and rolled him up, putting his feet on the ropes, for the victory.
After the match, Kross said Hardy had made the biggest mistake of his life.
Scarlett, who has been present next to Kross since his NXT debut in April 2020, was not by his side.
