Fan-Favorite WWE Star Furious Over Personal Details Being Leaked
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE star Karrion Kross has become increasingly popular in recent months, partly due to his adeptness at blurring the lines between on-screen character and real-life frustrations. One such frustration he recently addressed is the leaking of his WWE contract details, information he believes should have remained private. His current WWE contract is reportedly set to expire later in 2025, and Kross is not pleased that this became public knowledge. During a candid interview with Ariel Helwani, Kross was asked about the contract details leaking online and admitted, "That put me over the edge. I think that happened online shortly after AOP and Ellering were gone. It was just kind of one thing after another. I'm still pretty pissed about that." He added, "I don't know who did it, it's impossible to say, I have no idea. But, I was kind of out of my mind at that moment, so it's kinda hard to put myself back there." When pressed on why the leak bothered him so intensely, Kross emphasized, "It's just privacy... Who the hell is supposed to know about that? Stuff gets leaked all the time." "That put me over the edge because that was also happening shortly after AOP and Ellering were gone. It was just like kind of one thing after another. I'm still pretty pissed about that. I was kind of out of my mind at that moment."@realKILLERkross on contract info being… — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) May 21, 2025 More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation In the same conversation, the former NXT Champion discussed the aftermath of his already-infamous worked-shoot promo following WrestleMania 41, where he passionately voiced his frustrations. Kross revealed the promo resonated strongly with many of his peers. He stated that he received a standing ovation backstage the next day, with numerous Superstars thanking him for speaking up, some even reportedly moved to tears. However, Kross also acknowledged that the candid outburst wasn't universally well-received within the company.

Since delivering that headline-making promo, Kross has yet to compete in a main roster televised match, with his only in-ring appearances being two matches on WWE Main Event recorded around WrestleMania weekend. This has led to further fan speculation about his current standing and future direction within the company as his contract year progresses. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Jake Paul Responds to Logan's MMA Challenge
When it comes to blending spectacle with strategy, few in combat sports rival Jake Paul. Once dismissed as a YouTuber chasing clout, he has become a marketing force whose name is now synonymous with crossover events and headline-generating moments. Whether he's entering the boxing ring or hyping up potential MMA ventures, Paul has made unpredictability his brand. And with new developments, the Paul playbook may be getting another wild chapter. Recently, Jake Paul responded to some intriguing comments from his brother, Logan Paul. With his fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. locked in for June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, Jake has a clear target ahead. But that hasn't stopped fans—and pundits—from exploring what might come next. Veteran journalist Ariel Helwani referenced comments Logan made on his Impaulsive podcast and pitched the idea that the biggest possible fight isn't with Gervonta Davis or Nate Diaz, but with Logan himself. 'Your brother said the only time he would fight you would be in MMA,' Helwani told Jake. Paul replied, 'I mean, I'm guessing that's real. I didn't see him say that, but I'm guessing that's very real. Like for him, that would level the playing field because we both have never done MMA, right?' The back-and-forth sparked more speculation when Helwani added, 'I still feel like that's one of the biggest fights... there's some sort of sibling rivalry there. Am I crazy?' Jake didn't shut it down: 'I mean, I'd be down to do it just for fun, like box, but I don't think it would ever happen. Yeah. Anything. Anything. MMA, boxing, however.' Nov 14, 2024; Irving, TX, USA; Jake Paul reacts after being slapped by Mike Tyson (not pictured) after weighing in at the Toyota Music Jairaj-Imagn Images With so much already on the table—from boxing bouts to rumored exhibition fights—Jake Paul continues to keep his options wide open. In a world where entertainment often trumps tradition, one thing's for sure: with the Paul brothers, anything is possible.

Jake Paul highlights glaring Canelo Alvarez weakness: ‘I would've beaten him for sure'
Jake Paul has claimed he would have defeated Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez 'for sure' if the pair had fought in May, as the YouTube star continues to eye a bout with the Mexican icon. Paul, 28, has gone 11-1 as a professional boxer and most recently fought in November, beating heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, 58, on points. He was then in talks to box super-middleweight star Canelo this year, but the latter opted to sign a deal with the Saudis instead, kickstarting what is due to be a four-fight run. The first of those bouts was a clash with William Scull this month, with Canelo winning to regain undisputed status. Next, Canelo is due to box Terence Crawford in a super-fight in September. 'I would've beaten Canelo for sure,' Paul told Ariel Helwani on Monday (19 May). 'Even just watching him against Scull, he's just washed up, inactive, doesn't throw a lot of punches, not very strong. 'And what's crazy is one of my main sparring partners from the last two years was the one who lost to William Scull. He was the one that should've been fighting Canelo. His name's Shishkin, Vladimir Shishkin. He beat Scull way worse than Canelo did. This is the guy I'm sparring with every day for two-and-a-half years, going toe to toe with.' Shishkin boxed Scull for the IBF super-middleweight belt in October, losing via unanimous decision but with relatively close scorecards of 116-113, 116-112 and 115-113. Scull was then defeated by Canelo, though both fighters were criticised for their performances in Riyadh. 'People say I'm crazy, they've said this the whole journey,' Paul said. 'They said I wouldn't beat Tyson, they said I wouldn't beat Nate Robinson, they said I wouldn't beat Nate Diaz, they said I wouldn't beat [Anderson] Silva and [Tyron] Woodley, Ben Askren, every single person. 'When it happens, I know I'm gonna have the last laugh, and I know what I'm capable of. There's a lot more names on the list that I'm gonna beat in the next couple of years, and it's gonna be the greatest boxing career of all time.' Paul's sole professional loss came against Tommy Fury, half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in 2023. Many of the YouTuber's wins have come against mixed martial artists like Diaz, Silva, Woodley and Askren, but he has begun to face boxers more regularly over time. Next time out, the American is due to fight former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the 39-year-old son of the legendary Sr, on 28 June. Paul has also been linked to a bout against fellow YouTuber KSI for some time, though the contest has failed to materialise.
