Karrion Kross reacts to Carlito’s WWE release after the surprising announcement that both Carlito and R-Truth, two established performers, are exiting WWE as of today. This wave of departures has sparked numerous responses from fellow wrestlers and widespread discontent among fans, who view these releases as significant losses for the wrestling community.
Carlito, recognized for his long WWE tenure, was the second superstar to confirm leaving the company on the same day, following the earlier statement from R-Truth. The decision to let these beloved veterans go sent shockwaves across social media, prompting immediate reactions from notable names such as Scarlett Bordeaux, Karrion Kross, Matt Cardona, and Lince Dorado. Many within the WWE fanbase expressed frustration, suggesting that the company may be making a critical misstep in not renewing these contracts. Despite various rumors circulating about the reasons behind the exits, the result remains the same—long-time fans will no longer see these stars in wrestling broadcasts for the foreseeable future.
Wrestlers Share Thoughts on Carlito’s Departure
After news of Carlito’s contract not being renewed, reactions poured in from both colleagues and fans. In his announcement, Carlito chose to use humor, joking in characteristic fashion about WWE demanding repayment for “stealing money” from the company. Despite the playful tone, he ultimately expressed gratitude towards both the company and the fanbase. His light-hearted approach resonated with Scarlett Bordeaux, who found the joke genuinely entertaining, sharing her amusement online:
“The first half of your tweet had Kevin in a tizzy 🤣.”

Karrion Kross, however, responded with visible frustration through a social media post sharing a GIF from the film The Shining, featuring Jack Nicholson in an iconic moment of anger. This response reflected the sense of tension and disappointment echoed by others within the WWE community.
Support also came from Matt Cardona, who called Carlito “The man,” and from Lince Dorado, who posted “One love.” Their reactions, though brief, underscored the respect and camaraderie felt within the locker room toward the departing veteran.
Future Uncertain for Departing WWE Stars
At this time, neither Carlito nor R-Truth has revealed their next steps following their exits from WWE. With widespread speculation about where these respected veterans might appear, there will likely be significant industry interest in their future endeavors. Many fans are left waiting, eager to see where such veteran talents will choose to perform next, further reflecting the substantial impact of these releases on WWE’s landscape and its audience.
