Kross's shirts have been restocked, and now it appears that fans being vocal about wanting to see him on WWE TV led to another big change. Kross announced that due to the support, WWE will now sell his merchandise at WWE live events instead of just relying on online sales.
'They heard you, loud and clear,' Kross said.
Kross said he met fans who wanted his shirts, so he directed them to the WWE Shop website. The fans wanted the shirt on the spot, and it's something Kross related to. He went to someone in WWE and asked how they could solve this problem, and he got a relatively quick answer.
Fans can finally get Karrion Kross merch in person at WWE live events
'Moving forward, from my understanding, starting this Monday night at RAW, my shirts will be available in the arena. So, it feels awesome, I want to say thank you to everybody, you guys made that happen completely. I don't think I would've had a case [without you]. They're doing alright online, so they see you and they hear you, and I think it's important to check in with people sometimes and tell them that.'

Kross guessed that he was still in NXT the last time he had merch available at a live event. He ended the video by encouraging fans to watch Saturday Night's Main Event and said he'll see fans on Monday.
If you can't make it to an upcoming WWE live event, Karrion Kross merchandise is still available on WWEShop now.

Pro wrestling star Shotzi Blackheart's sultry reason for AEW interest
Shotzi Blackheart will be featured in several independent pro wrestling shows over the next few months after she departed WWE following roughly six years with the company. She appeared on "The Ariel Helwani Show" on Tuesday and discussed the promotions she would be interested in joining as she attempts to find a full-time home. She mentioned that she loved All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Total Nonstop Action wrestling and watches their programming. She explained why AEW would be her preference if she had a choice. "For so many reasons," she said. "I love their freedom. I have a lot of friends there who are doing really awesome things. I've heard many stories of how (AEW co-owner) Tony (Khan) treats talent. I do love that he really cares for his talent – that is super important to me. "And like, hot girls get to make out with each other, so, like, that's cool." For what it's worth on Shotzi's latter point, AEW stars Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa shared a kiss after their match at Double or Nothing last month. Storm faces Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women's Championship at All In next month. Shotzi, whose real name is Ashley Urbanski, also made clear she loved working for WWE and was only unhappy when she wasn't being used. "I mean, I would love to be back at WWE," she said. "I loved working there. I didn't love not working there. It was only when I wasn't being used that I was unhappy, but anytime I was being used, good time – love the locker room, loved everyone I was working for. That's just it. I just don't want to go back and not work." Shotzi attempted to join WWE through the company's "Tough Enough" challenge in 2015. IT wasn't until 2019 that she joined the NXT brand and worked her way to the main roster. She was an NXT women's tag-team champion with Embar Moon, who wrestles as Athena in the AEW-affiliated Ring of Honor. She was also named the 2020 NXT Breakout Star of the Year.

She also named several dream opponents she would love to face in the promotion. "I love TNA, I love AEW... AEW is my preference," Shotzi stated. "I love their freedom, I have a lot of friends there who are doing really awesome things. I've heard many stories of how Tony Khan treats talent.

On Her WWE Release And Potential Return Shotzi was let go by WWE shortly after returning from a torn ACL that kept her out of action for most of 2024. She admitted that being released after working hard to come back from such a major injury was difficult. "When you're going through such a huge injury like that... you hope that, 'Well, if I work really hard and come back even better, maybe I'll get rewarded,'" she said. "But unfortunately for me, I was let go." She believes the reason for her release was simple. "WWE doesn't owe me anything. That's showbiz, right? They just didn't think that I was money and that's okay. I can take that." As for a potential return to the company, she is open to it, but with one major condition. "I would love to be back at WWE. I loved working there. I didn't love not working there, you know what I'm saying? It was only when I wasn't being used that I was unhappy," she explained.
