The fan favorite star officially parted ways with WWE!
Fans were outraged after Karrion Kross and Scarlett were moved to the alumni section of WWE.com, a change typically made after talent is released from the promotion. Earlier reports suggested that Kross and Scarlett’s contract with the promotion would expire this past weekend.
However, some fans were still hopeful that it might be a part of a storyline, similar to what WWE did with R-Truth. The two stars were in their second run after returning in 2022.
Karrion Kross & Scarlett were originally set to travel to last week’s Monday Night Raw
According to a report from Fightful Select, the situation took an unexpected twist when WWE sources revealed that Kross and Scarlett were initially set to travel to Monday Night Raw this past week. However, the company abruptly altered their travel arrangements at the last minute, resulting in neither of them appearing on the show.
Kross’ last appearance came during Night 1 of SummerSlam 2025, where he suffered defeat at the hands of Sami Zayn. The two stars were involved in a fierce feud and the clash at SummerSlam was a rubber match.
Karrion Kross & Scarlett confirm their WWE exit
Confirming the news of their exits, both stars took to their X (formerly Twitter) accounts to make the announcement and shared their email addresses for booking inquiries
“Hey… life is fighting, right? Now accepting bookings: [email protected] See you all again soon.” Karrion Kross wrote.
Scarlett also confirmed the exit and reflected on her time in WWE, calling it an incredible experience, describing her colleagues as family. She also thanked the fans for their unwavering support and expressed excitement for the next chapter.
“My time in WWE has been an incredible ride, and I can truly say it’s been the best locker room I’ve ever been part of. These people aren’t just coworkers, they’re family. I love you all, and I’ll deeply miss seeing you every week.
To the fans, you’ve never just been a crowd. You’ve been our partners in every fight and the reason we give everything for this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. The next chapter starts now and I’m ready to bring something unforgettable to any stage, anywhere in the world.
If you want The Smokeshow on your show… let’s make it happen. Bookings & appearances: [email protected]“
In a YouTube video uploaded before the tweet titled “My WWE Contract Ends Today,” Kross said he was willing to renegotiate his contract with WWE, but the recent talks didn’t feel like a genuine discussion. He described the experience as “profoundly disappointing.”
The video was the second part of the ‘The Killer’ documentary. Kross later expressed in a video that he’s “really f**king angry” about how the situation unfolded.
