In an NXT Exclusive, Karrion Kross sent a message to New Catch Republic.

"Wow, Pete Dunne. What a smart guy you are. Outsmarted us, outsmarted everybody in the WWE Universe. You show up by surprise. You think you screwed us over tonight? No, man. See, you don’t understand. We could have kept these guys down here. You just helped elevate them up the ladder. You know what winds up happening to guys like us, as in me and you? They take these guys, and they put them in our spots, and then you’re out of a job one day. We could have set the tone down here, but you wanted to…Let me tell you something, Pete. Let’s get real. You’re one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. But what happened Monday night? You got drafted online. Not even a single mention on TV. How did that feel? Because I know that beating on SmackDown hurt, but that had to hurt you more than anything. You know what? I know what it’s like to be shafted in this place for the next shiny new toy. You just shafted yourself tonight. Tyler Bate, brother, I don’t know. You don’t know me, but I know exactly where you’re gonna be on Friday. Let me tell you something, it’s not gonna be good for you. You should have just took your beating and walked. You made a left last Friday when you should have made a right. Everybody catches a beating. What we’re gonna do to you? [Laughs] Tick tock," Kross said.
