Fastlane seems to be full of surprises from returns to even debuts of top stars in the WWE. Fans are speculating a lot of things from Jade Cargill’s debut to Carlito joining the NWO. While all this is still to be seen, one WWE star has put out a warning. And this very well serves as a sign of danger to John Cena and LA Knight at Fastlane.

This star has been stalking Cena for a while now and we will know the exact reason for that this Saturday night at Fastlane.

Right from Grayson Waller to Jimmy Uso, everyone wants a piece of The GOAT. Now another star who once aided Roman Reigns in a title win against Drew McIntyre seems to be wanting to start a beef with Cena. We are talking about ‘The Doom Walker’ Karrion Kross.

Kross was last seen in August when he lost to AJ Styles. Post that, he has been mostly MIA. But just days before Fastlane, Kross posted a pic on Twitter with the caption “Tick tock. ⏳”. Hinting one thing for sure, he will definitely make an appearance at Fastlane.

But the reason we feel he might attack Cena is that Kross recently posted a video of him staring at Cena’s entrance with pure anger.

This might be a sign that he is targeting The GOAT ahead of his return at Fastlane. What makes it the biggest possibility is that Kross has once assisted Roman Reigns in retaining his title.

Karrion Kross became part of the WWE in 2020 by joining NXT. There he became the NXT Champion and then was eventually drafted to the main roster of RAW in 2021. But just a few months into RAW, he was let go due to the budget cuts of 2021. Even Kross was left dumbstruck and wanted to know the exact reason for the layoff.

Then he returned once again in 2022 while Drew McIntyre was confronting Roman Reigns and viciously attacked him. Thus sending a message of an alliance to The Bloodline. Kross further strengthened that offer as he distracted McIntyre during his title match against Reigns at Clash at the Castle which gave Reigns an upper hand in the match.

But what are your opinions on the possibility that Kross might attack Cena at Fastlane?
