Two major WWE Raw superstars may have departed the company and become free agents.
The current deals for both Karrion Kross and his real life wife Scarlett were set to expire this weekend, and now they have both been moved to the alumni section of WWE.com.
After months of fans rallying behind the former NXT Champion and loudly chanting his name at SummerSlam over the weekend, the duo look to have left at the end of their contracts.
Fans are livid at the prospect they have left, with @jshaggy1983 writing: ‘The fact that the #WWE fumbled the bag with Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux not once, but twice should be considered criminal. It’s their loss, and another company’s gain at this point.’
‘Karrion Kross & Scarlett moved to WWE Alumni? Heartbreaking. 😭😭 Where do they go from here?,’ asked @AmberSaira9510.
Some fans believe it’s all part of an elaborate storyline, and @Critic added: ‘Moving Karrion Kross and Scarlett to Alumni section of the website could be a work 🤔’
As reported by Fightful Select earlier this week, the pair – who didn’t feature on Monday Night Raw this week – hadn’t been offered new deals by Tuesday, after Karrion lost to Sami Zayn at SummerSlam over the weekend.
They haven’t addressed the situation publicly, but Karrion did respond on social media after fans chanting ‘we want Kross’ at boss Triple H was brushed off as ‘we want Brock’ chants.
‘I heard you loud and clear,’ he wrote on X, before adding: ‘Unreal. They write the scripts… But the fans write the truth. Thank you, Tick tock.’
It’s safe to say a lot of fans are disappointed at the prospect of Karrion and Scarlett leaving, with plenty of people pointing to their potential as major players.
‘Karrion Kross has to be up there with the biggest waste of talent in the WWE of all time. Hopefully this isn’t if for him though,’ wrote @r0w4n_k3r1m.
And @chris_xcom added: ‘Wherever Kross lands, if it’s renewed with the WWE or elsewhere – Kross and Scarlet are going to be serious draws. He was just starting to come into his own for his character. And Scarlet just needs the opportunity.’
However, after Seth Rollins recently fooled everyone with his injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event, some people are remaining sceptical about this situation.
‘We definitely getting worked lmaooo,’ joked @johnathanvolk, with other fans expecting them to remain with the company.
The duo first signed with WWE in 2020, remaining with the company until November the following year when they were both released.
By August 2022, Karrion and Scarlett had been re-signed and returned on SmackDown, feuding with the likes of Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles.
For much of 2024, he fronted the Final Testament group with Authors of Pain, and feuded with The Pride and the Wyatt Family.
This year, he’s been featured weekly on Raw – albeit sometimes in short promos in between the main action – but his merch has sold well for WWE, and fan support has been steadily growing.
Netflix is the home of WWE in the UK.
