One of the ideas Kross had prior to his November 2021 release was similar to The Final Testament, the faction he leads today.

"Before I left, I had this idea that was kind of, kind of what I'm doing right now," Kross explained. "[We] would target the history of the people we were working with — the babyfaces, let's say — and we'd talk about bad things they did in their career. The general premise was, like, nobody can avoid judgement. Like, everyone is guilty, and now you will be tried for this thing you did x amount of times ago."

A WWE creative figure suggested Kross use a throne or a gavel in this proposed, justice-oriented presentation, and he recalled wondering how close this faction could be to Ministry of Darkness, The Undertaker's Attitude Era faction that specialized in demonic rituals and human sacrifices. 

Ultimately, Kross' proposed faction idea was not approved and Kross was released. While Kross' current Final Testament faction is not as judicious as the original plan was, his programs with The New Day and the Wyatt Sicks suggest a revival for him in the promotion.
