What happened to Karrion Kross' planned Smackdown TV return (Patreon)

Karrion Kross is still absent from WWE TV, but he wasn't supposed to be.

Fightful Select reported last week that Karrion Kross was slated to appear on the November 3 episode of WWE Smackdown, which was actually filmed October 27. We've now learned why that didn't happen.

Kross had been scheduled for a backstage segment that also was set to feature Scarlett and Shotzi. However, sources within WWE said that the segment would not have made sense for almost anyone involved, and was nixed very early in the day October 27. The segment ended up not being filmed at all.

This wasn't relayed to some, as the segment still made it onto run sheets and was on the slate for the show as of 7 PM ET before the double taping. However, it didn't cause any major issues for timing as it was a taped show and things were adjusted easily.

We've not heard any update on upcoming creative for Karrion Kross. We have heard that several in WWE were happy with Shotzi and Scarlett's Halloween Havoc hosting, as well as their new web show, Chamber of Horrors.
