Gargano called out Kross on social media after Kross attacked him and tried to run him over with a car on this week’s show. Kross responded and agreed to the face to face.

Last week Kross tried to hit me with a car.. You think I was just going to let that go?

I'll be at the Great American Bash. No tricks, no games, no smoke and mirrors.

Meet me face to face. I'm going to smack the taste outta your mouth.
