Chaotic State Surrounding Pro Wrestler Karrion Kross as a Blizzard of Contradictory Reports Swirls Amidst Fan Bafflement
Karrion Kross and Scarlett, two popular WWE personalities, are no longer under contract with the company as of mid-August 2025. Their contracts expired without renewal, marking the end of their time with WWE for now.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Karrion Kross confirmed that the contract expiration is genuine and not part of a storyline. He highlighted that his departure is authentic and not a work. The breakdown in contract negotiations and WWE's handling suggest that any potential return would require new terms and clearer communication.
The situation surrounding Karrion Kross's exit feels different from the R-Truth situation and other talent releases over the past few months. In a twist of events, Kross has rebranded himself as Killer Kross and released a new entrance theme titled "Don’t Kross A Killer," signaling plans for future projects outside WWE.
Speculation about their next moves includes opportunities in other promotions like TNA, NJPW, or the independent circuit, though no official announcements have been made so far.
Interestingly, Karrion Kross expressed interest in booking appearances on other wrestling shows during the documentary that was filmed for his post-WrestleMania 41 promo. This may have led to the drama between him and WWE higher-ups, which ultimately resulted in his departure.
The WWE is promoting a series called WWE: Unreal heavily, even during matches at SummerSlam. Could this be a sign of the company's interest in exploring more realistic and raw storylines? Only time will tell.
In the documentary, Karrion Kross also shared his side of the situation, providing insights into the contract negotiations that led to his exit. Fans may find it enlightening to watch this documentary and gain a deeper understanding of the events that unfolded.
As for Scarlett, she did not receive a contract renewal offer. The absence of a renewal offer for Scarlett, Kross's wife and manager, adds another layer to the intrigue surrounding their departure.
The WWE has a history of playing the narrative of the fan-favorite wrestler sticking it to the boss and ultimately, coming out on top. Could Karrion Kross and Scarlett's story follow a similar trajectory? Only time will reveal the answers.
Fans can still catch Monday Night Raw live on Netflix beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you find yourself chanting "We want Kross" during the show, you're not alone. The fervent support from fans could potentially influence the WWE's decision regarding a potential return for Karrion Kross and Scarlett.
For now, we wait and speculate, but one thing is certain - the world of professional wrestling is never dull, and the Karrion Kross and Scarlett saga is just another chapter in its captivating history.
