Weeks after leaving WWE, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux were recently seen alongside wrestling icon Sting at an event, signaling potential new directions for the duo. This encounter took place at AnimeVerse Tennessee, where the three connected publicly, drawing attention amid uncertainty about Kross and Scarlett’s next moves.
Background on Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s WWE Tenure
Karrion Kross first left WWE in 2021 following a year-long run before returning in 2022 with Scarlett Bordeaux by his side. Known as the Harbinger of Doomsday, Kross engaged in storylines with top stars such as Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and The New Day. Alongside AOP and manager Paul Ellering, they formed The Final Testament faction, clashing in faction battles including matches against The Wyatt Sicks.
After The Final Testament dissolved, Kross pursued individual rivalries with AJ Styles and Sami Zayn, his final WWE match taking place at SummerSlam 2025. Earlier this month, Kross confirmed that both he and Scarlett had parted ways with WWE following contract expiration.
Sting Shares Moment from Their Recent Meeting
At AnimeVerse Tennessee, Kross and Scarlett joined AEW veteran Sting, a former WWE and AEW World Tag Team Champion. Sting posted a brief video of their interaction on Instagram with the caption:

Sting retired after AEW Revolution 2024, where he and Darby Allin defended the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks, marking his final in-ring appearance.
Karrion Kross Previously Declined AEW Opportunity
In a recent Fightful Select podcast, reporter Sean Ross Sapp addressed questions about Kross’s potential involvement with AEW. According to Sapp, Kross has neither communicated with WWE nor AEW since his departure. He revealed that Kross was once considered by AEW star MJF to face Wardlow during a 2022 storyline, but Kross turned down the offer because AEW was not interested in signing Scarlett Bordeaux alongside him. The role subsequently went to Big Bill, who remains with AEW.
Uncertainty Surrounds Kross and Scarlett’s Wrestling Future
The recent public appearance with Sting and their departure from WWE have stirred speculation about Kross and Scarlett’s next chapter in wrestling. While their future destination remains unclear, their connection to an AEW legend fuels hope among fans regarding potential new opportunities within the pro-wrestling landscape.
