WWE has a new United States Champion after tonight’s live event in Madison Square Garden.

Rey Mysterio defended the US title on Thursday night at the legendary venue in a match against Andrade. The finish of the match saw Andrade reverse a top rope splash, then hit his Hammerlock DDT finisher to clench the victory.

This is the first title win for Andrade since moving from NXT in April 2018.

WWE confirmed the title change with an announcement on their website, seen below. It was noted that Andrade received tonight’s title shot due to his Gauntlet Match win on the December 16 RAW episode. As noted, that match ended with no clear winner after Andrade destroyed Humberto Carrillo on the outside of the ring. The other participants in the Gauntlet were Akira Tozawa, WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth, Matt Hardy, and Ricochet. WWE has not mentioned any potential title shot for Andrade until tonight’s match at MSG, and Rey even defended the title against Seth Rollins on this week’s RAW.

Killer Kross To Receive Significant Contract Offer From WWE?

WWE officials are reportedly interested in bringing in former Impact Wrestling star Killer Kross.

WWE’s interest level in Kross is said to be significantly high, according to a new report from @Wrestlevotes. It was noted that Kross should receive a similar offer to what WWE offered current AEW star “Hangman” Adam Page last year. Word then was that Triple H offered “main roster money” for Page to work WWE NXT as one of the top stars of the brand.

There’s no word yet on if Kross is interested in signing with WWE, but the company is reportedly pursuing him heavily, more than they usually do with other free agents.

As noted earlier this week, Impact announced that Kross has been released from his contract. There was talk in September 2018 of WWE having interest in Kross, but that was the last we heard of it. His girlfriend, Scarlett Bordeaux, recently signed with WWE.

It was announced yesterday that Kross will make his debut for MLW on February 1, 2020.
