I seriously want someone to keep following him around, perplexed about the gimmick but buying into it completely.
"Wait, so, are you a vampire? Are you a ghost? If you're a ghost, how does the NXT championship help you get revenge from beyond the grave?? Are you the devil? Oh shit wait are you the devil??? If you're the devil, why do you want to compete in wrestling matches, and why don't you use devil powers to win them? Or... is SHE the devil? Either way, why do your tights look like they were made for Xena Warrior Princess? Does that help you access ancient demon powers???"

Since they love odd couple tag teams, I can totally see them putting Kross in one if he continues to flounder.

I like the guy. Guess im in the minority. I find him a nice change of pace to some of the NXT guys. I think in wrestling you need variety. I see him as someone who his offense isn't flashy but what he does feels natural for the type of wrestler he is. To each their own i guess.

I just watched NXT this week and Kross’s promo was really lame made worse by Joe.

My hot take: Scarlett's involvement as part of Kross's gimmick is holding him back. I'm the opposite. I think Kross is holding Scarlett back. She has the potential to be a Sherri-level vile manager. Having her man/men destroy whoever she points to. Attaching herself to powerful men and making them her meal ticket. She also has a Sunny quality. A beautiful woman that seduces men into doing her bidding. And quickly dispose of them when they are no longer of use to her. I get they're married, and they want to work together. But it's doing neither any favors.

I just don't understand his character week to week. It's like he has a face/heel switch on his back that Hunter keeps flipping. Literally two weeks ago he was like "I'M GONNA TAKE ON EVERYONE! GIVE ME ALL FOUR DUDES AT ONCE!" and now he's like "oh you're gonna cry old man?"

But it's doing neither any favors. The problem I see with Scarlett, though, is that her gimmick's a throwback to Sherri or even Luna Vachon melded with Sable, only without the wrestling chops (I've never seen her in the ring, so correct me if I'm wrong), and without the spark of charisma one saw in Sherri or Luna. It seems almost a caricature drawn from a thirteen-year-old's late-90s fantasy and is just jarring in comparison with Charlotte or even an Eva Marie, alongside the Asukas, Bayleys, Sashas and everyone else who struggled and strove to get the womens' side where it is now. I'm not sure if she will get over with audiences in 2021. I may have suggested in the past that she'd be a shoo-in for the main roster; however, I can't help but think that, with the company really confused from a creative standpoint and with Vince himself not as engaged with the product as he used to be, she may well end up lost in the shuffle on the main roster _if_ they call her and Kross up at all.

GIVE ME ALL FOUR DUDES AT ONCE!" and now he's like "oh you're gonna cry old man?" They did that with Raquel too with the Bianca/Rhea segment to having her be a tweener then flopping back to her being a cowardly heel in matches. There's either a lack of confidence in direction for their champions or a lack of care about consistency (or both I guess)

{Spoiler}Well…
{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Kross and Scarlet are backstage at Smackdown. There’s been talk about moving them to the main roster sooner than later - PWInsider.

Honestly Scarlett seems pretty useless to me too. Not seen a gigantic amount of her but there's nothing about her that really screams, "Yes, this is someone I want to watch more of."
