Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle on Saturday. In recent weeks, the rehired Kross has set his sights on both men on SmackDown.
Mantell, a legendary wrestling booker and manager, discussed the world title scene on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s “Smack Talk” show. He said WWE’s new head of creative, Triple H, is clearly a fan of Kross and his valet Scarlett. For that reason, he thinks Kross vs. Reigns could be on the horizon.
Watch the video above to find out why Mantell thinks Dexter Lumis is similar to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Karrion Kross and Roman Reigns are advertised for SmackDown this week
The last SmackDown episode before Clash at the Castle will feature Roman Reigns’ two-year title celebration. Karrion Kross is also scheduled to compete in his first WWE match since his return.
Reigns has held the Universal Championship since winning the title from The Fiend at Payback on August 30, 2020. He unified the Universal and WWE Championships on April 3, 2022, following his victory over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38.
While Reigns vs. McIntyre will headline Clash at the Castle, it is currently unclear if Kross will appear at the event in Cardiff, Wales.
