Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux, both recently released from WWE contracts, have made headlines with their activities outside the major wrestling promotion. Since their contracts ended on August 10, the couple has been actively appearing on the independent wrestling scene while traveling internationally, including a notable visit to Africa where they shared a significant personal experience.
Their departure from WWE in 2025 sparked wide discussion, as fans remained unsure about the seriousness of their exit given Kross’s growing popularity under his “Herald of Doomsday” persona. Nevertheless, the couple has embraced their free agent status, reconnecting with fans and exploring new horizons together.
Visiting Ethiopia’s Cliffside Church: A Unique Spiritual Experience
The most recent highlight of Kross and Bordeaux’s journey was a trip to Ethiopia, where they visited Abuna Yemata Guh, a remarkable monolithic church carved into a cliff in the Tigray Region. Kross shared photos from the site on Instagram, capturing a deeply meaningful moment for both.
“No shoes. No ropes. No turning back. We climbed to Abuna Yemata Guh, one of the world’s most remote churches barefoot, as tradition requires. The path is carved into the cliff itself. No one has ever fallen. It is said the mountain is blessed by God. Grateful to share this moment with the woman I love, on sacred ground,” Karrion Kross wrote.
This sacred place, known for its challenging ascent and spiritual significance, added a profound layer to their travels. Beyond Ethiopia, the couple also toured Egypt, visiting iconic locations such as the pyramids, further highlighting their interest in historical and cultural exploration.
Reactions from Wrestling Community and Fans
Kross and Bordeaux’s Ethiopian pilgrimage drew responses from several WWE personalities. While many expressed inspiration from their journey, Dominik Mysterio chose to respond with his characteristic antagonistic humor, posting a brief message aimed at teasing the couple.
“AI,” Dominik Mysterio wrote.
Some fans criticized Mysterio for his dismissive tone toward former colleagues, while others found humor in his comment, noting the playful engagement within the wrestling community. Fellow personality Lana reacted with amusement.
“Wow I just popped out loud!!!!!” Lana wrote.
This exchange illustrates the ongoing dynamics among current and former WWE stars as they interact on social media, blending camaraderie with rivalry.
Ongoing Independence and Future Prospects
Now navigating the independent wrestling circuit, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux continue to build their profiles beyond WWE’s platform. Their adventures, combining professional appearances and personal growth, resonate with fans who appreciate their authenticity and resilience.
As they expand their reach internationally and share experiences like their sacred visit in Ethiopia, the couple’s journey reflects a new chapter dedicated to freedom, discovery, and connection. This phase is likely to influence their future career choices and fan engagement in meaningful ways.
