Karrion Kross Addresses WWE Night Of Champions 2025 Match

WWE star Karrion Kross has shared a heartfelt message following his match at Saturday’s Night of Champions event.

The June 28 premium live event saw Karrion Kross face off against Sami Zayn in singles action.

Zayn ultimately came out on top, pinning Kross after dropping him with his Helluva kick.

Kross has now taken to Twitter to share a message for his fans, writing:

Didn’t ask for shortcuts. Didn’t ask for favors.

We just showed up—every time—staying ready even when no one was watching.

Saudi Arabia, you saw it. You felt it. And that means more than you know.

To the rest of the world watching, With your never ending support; Thank you for reminding us who this is really for.

This match marked Kross’ first PLE bout since the six-man Philadelphia Street Fight at WrestleMania 40 in 2024, and Kross’ first PLE one-on-one match since facing Drew McIntyre in a Steel Cage match at Crown Jewel 2022.

Following the match, Triple H showered praise on Sami Zayn, calling him “one of the best in the business.”
