Killer Kross is coming to ACW: Aftershock on March 14 at the MJN Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Kross made a shocking appearance at the 2026 Poughkeepsie Rumble, where he challenged the newly crowned ACW World Heavyweight Champion Richard Holliday for his title on March 14.
Since his release from WWE in 2025, Kross has been one of the hottest free agents in professional wrestling, and it was only a matter of time before “The Devil You Know” arrived at one of the indie scene’s hottest stops: ACW. Known for his brutal offense, psychological warfare, and “nothing personal, just violence” mindset, Killer Kross is not a threat to take lightly.
Though billed from Las Vegas, Nevada, Kross grew up in Rockland County. His first time ever attending a live wrestling event was at the MJN Center (formerly the Mid-Hudson Civic Center), making his ACW debut a full-circle moment for “The Herald of Doom” as he ushers in a new beginning for the promotion.
Before Kross challenged Holliday at the Rumble, TNA World Champion Mike Santana defeated Nic Nemeth to become the number one contender for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship and was not going to let Kross steal that opportunity from him; instead, Kross, Holliday, and Santana will be competing in a triple-threat match for the title at Aftershock.
Holliday brings polish, Santana brings heart, and Kross brings chaos. Three very different competitors, one ring, one prize. There will be no hiding. There will be no mercy. Who will survive?
