Former WWE Champion mocks Karrion Kross ahead of RAW
Tonight's WWE RAW will see Karrion Kross attempt to secure his second win in a row. The heel Superstar and his wife were just publicly insulted by a fan favorite, who will also be on tonight's show with a hometown advantage.
The Herald Of Doomsday is set to face Xavier Woods in a grudge match on tonight's RAW live from Boston. The match was originally scheduled for two weeks ago. Kross defeated Kofi Kingston last Monday in just under six minutes, taking advantage of the latter being distracted by footage of his New Day partner being beaten down backstage by AOP.
Kingston will continue on the warpath with The Final Testament on tonight's RAW, which is taking place in Beantown - the city he moved to when his family came to the United States. Amid rumors about The New Day splitting up, the former WWE Champion took to Instagram this afternoon to share a hilarious edited graphic for tonight's match.
He hyped RAW in the caption and portrayed Kross and Scarlett as clowns. The song "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" by Dropkick Murphys was attached to the post, and he also modified the lyrics to taunt Kross.
"To Punch Kross in the... ...HEAD!," Kofi Kingston wrote on the graphics.
The war between The Final Testament and The New Day began after Kross tried to recruit Woods into his faction. The Author of Pain defeated Kingston and Woods on the June 3 edition of the red brand's show.
