A major WWE Superstar was snubbed from the Money in the Bank Qualifiers, drawing sharp criticism from a wrestling veteran. Vince Russo went off on Triple H and the creative team's poor handling of Karrion Kross.

So far, the confirmed names for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match are Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, and Seth Rollins. As announced on this week's SmackDown, CM Punk, El Grande Americano, and AJ Styles will compete on the upcoming episode of RAW to determine the final spot in the six-man gimmick match. However, Karrion Kross was excluded from the opportunity to compete at the upcoming premium live event.

On X (formerly Twitter), Vince Russo criticized The Game's choice not to include the former two-time NXT Champion in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. The former WWE writer challenged Triple H to move beyond repetitive booking and take chances on different individuals like Karrion Kross.

"Seriously---you want to make somebody? HOW is THIS GUY not in @WWE 'Money in the Bank' and... WINNING IT?!!! Tell me and we'll BOTH KNOW. WHAT are you so afraid of @TripleH?!!! Get out of your Comfort Zone and BOX and STOP REPEATING the SAME THING over and over again with THE SAME PEOPLE!!!"
