8 Wrestlers WWE Will Sign In 2026
1. Karrion Kross
WWE largely ignoring the overwhelming public support of Karrion Kross was one of the most intriguing stories of 2025. After floundering for most of his time on the main roster, Kross struck gold with his "devil on your shoulder" gimmick. Maximizing his on-screen minutes, the presence of Karrion Kross around any superstar came with huge emotional investment from the audience. Whenever he appeared, it demanded attention because something bad was about to happen to whoever he buzzed around.
Even with this popular change of character and an electric promo after this year's WrestleMania, where he voiced his displeasure at being overlooked, WWE felt content to ignore his large merch sales and buzz for their own bizarre reasons. When Kross was finally let go, it felt like a gauntlet being thrown down. It was as if they were challenging him to turn his buzz into something special to make his way back to WWE.
Kross makes no secret of the fact that he wishes to return to the WWE, and it still feels like a realistic goal to achieve in 2026. Much will depend on his ability to keep fans interested in his Killer Kross persona, but that feels very achievable given his considerable talent.
