As expected, the pro wrestling rumor mill continues to be especially noisy on the WWE side for the second and final half of John Cena’s retirement tour.

Despite the messy exit, Kross made it clear that his goal has always been to remain with WWE. He stated that he is speaking out now because the confusion surrounding his status is affecting his ability to get work elsewhere, as other promotions are hesitant to contact him, fearing contract tampering.
