Karrion Kross isn’t just back—he’s choking people out and stacking wins.

The WWE star made his return to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII on April 18 and walked out with a statement victory over powerhouse JR Kratos. In a hard-hitting showdown, Kross showed off his grappling edge, locking in a nasty arm-in cross choke with one hook in to force the tap.

That puts Kross at 2-1 in Bloodsport competition, while Kratos falls to 4-4. It was a gritty clash between two heavy hitters, but this time it was Kross who stood tall.

The win could signal a renewed focus for Kross in shoot-style circles—and fans are already talking about who he should fight next.
