Karrion Kross has his sights set on the gold.
On the April 24 episode of WWE Raw, Triple H unveiled the World Heavyweight Championship and announced that the company would crown a new titleholder at WWE Night of Champions. Many members of the roster have already expressed their interest in the title, and fans are speculating about who could win the championship. One popular candidate seems to be SmackDown star Karrion Kross, who acknowledged this support on social media.
In a tweet, Kross stated that he saw fans tagging him in the pictures of the new World Heavyweight Championship. He wrote that the title would be his in due time, but he also reminded everyone that the man who dethrones Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will make history in an unforgettable way.
I see you all tagging me in the new World Heavyweight Championship photos.

Believe me, that will inevitably be mine in due time.
Keep in mind though…
The very first person to end Roman’s Championship run is going to make history in such a way that will be never forgotten.
Kross then posted a follow-up tweet to make it clear that he wants it all, and he wouldn't be doing "this" if he didn't. He stated that he walks the hard road, and he'll keep putting his time in. Kross concluded his message by writing that he will earn what he chooses to pursue through the cards, whatever that may be.
Not to be confused,

I want it ALL.
I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t.
The hard road is my road.
I’ll continue to put my time in,
Take away the time from the next victims and earn what I choose to pursue through the cards.

When one fan responded that it would be "awesome" to see Kross win the World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE star responded by saying the road to either championship will be long and grueling, and everyone will have to wait and see what happens with the WWE Draft.
Kross, a two-time NXT Champion, returned to WWE in August 2022. At the time, he teased his interest in challenging Reigns for the title and entered a heated feud with Drew McIntyre. In recent weeks, Kross has targeted Shinsuke Nakamura on WWE SmackDown.
Shortly after Triple H introduced the World Heavyweight Championship, Seth Rollins made it clear that he wants to win the gold. More information is available here.
