Friday night’s SmackDown saw Karrion Kross and Scarlett return to WWE, with the former NXT Champion attacking Drew McIntyre before staring down Roman Reigns. This clearly indicates Kross is being put in a program along with the pair ahead of Clash At The Castle. And now, Fightful Select has reported that his involvement may be due to the USA Network wanting a world title on Raw.
Among the pitches we’ve learned is that Kross would be inserted into the Drew McIntyre-Roman Reigns feud and be involved in a match for one of Roman Reigns’ world titles, as opposed to both. Fightful had also been informed that USA Network wanted a top title featured on WWE Raw more often, as Roman Reigns is rarely seen on their show since winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. One USA Network pitch was to even have an interim title, though we’re not sure that was ever seriously considered by WWE.
Fightful SelectWith Roman Reigns going part-time, many fans thought putting both of the company’s top belts on him was a bizarre decision, and seeming the USA Network agrees. However, it is still possible to get the WWE Championship off Reigns while protecting him, and this could be achieved by having McIntyre pin Kross in a triple threat match. And if this were done at Clash At The Castle in the UK, it would allow for a massive moment for McIntyre while allowing Reigns to avoid a pinfall defeat.
