Karrion Kross WWE contract status and future have become a hot topic among fans, as backstage reports reveal no contract negotiations between Kross and World Wrestling Entertainment heading into the summer of 2025. As speculation grows over potential AEW interest and the RAW Superstar’s next steps, Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux remain in the spotlight, fueling widespread discussion across the wrestling world.
Fan Support Grows Amid Contract Uncertainty
The WWE Universe has shown strong support for Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux over recent months, as their popularity continues to rise on the RAW brand. Despite not appearing regularly in matches, the couple stays relevant, with many fans demanding a major push for the duo. Kross, originally from NYC, has recently been involved in a feud with Sami Zayn, while also participating in notable independent wrestling events. So far this year, he has defeated Hammerstone during FSW’s Chris Bey benefit show and overcame JR Kratos at GCW/Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII during WrestleMania Weekend.
2025 marks Kross’ current contract year with WWE, drawing even more attention to his future with the company. Recent reports indicate the company has yet to initiate any talks about an extension or renewal for Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux.
No Progress Reported on WWE Contract Discussions
According to Fightful Select, WWE officials have not begun formal negotiations regarding Karrion Kross’ future. There is no concrete information on whether the company intends to keep Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux as part of the roster moving forward. Current indications suggest that Kross still has an opportunity to receive a significant push before any final decision is made by WWE stakeholders.
Insiders suggest that both company officials and Kross may be intentionally keeping discussions confidential. However, sources insist there has been no approach to the 39-year-old regarding a contract extension as of early June. There are also no signs from WWE showing interest in opening contract talks with the two-time NXT Champion.
Typical WWE Contract Approaches and Current Trends
When a WWE Superstar enters their contract year, the organization typically gives them notice—either of an expiring deal or a potential extension—within a month. Lately, however, talent sometimes remains active on television and involved in ongoing storylines until their contract situation is clarified, or they are made an offer. This evolving approach leaves Superstars like Kross in suspense as summer approaches.
For now, Karrion Kross is expected to remain with WWE through the summer months at minimum. Previous reports suggested his contract would end this summer, but more recent updates indicate he may have a few months left before any final decisions are required from the company or from Kross himself.
Karrion Kross Booked for WWE Main Event This Week
The 662nd episode of WWE Main Event was taped at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma before RAW. Fans can watch the episode airing Thursday on Peacock, with Karrion Kross facing Akira Tozawa in a rematch. Their previous encounters, in September 2024 and April, both saw Kross emerge victorious. Also featured on the card is a bout between Michin and Candice LeRae.
So far this year, Karrion Kross’ in-ring appearances have been limited. Excluding his contest against Tozawa and participation in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Kross has competed in just one RAW match in 2024—a loss to AJ Styles. Following WrestleMania, he was defeated by Dragon Lee on Main Event but did secure a win over Tyler Bate on the show three weeks later.
What Lies Ahead for Karrion Kross?
With contract talks reportedly stalled, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux’s status with WWE remains unresolved. The couple’s continued presence on RAW, their dedicated fans, and persistent rumors about potential AEW moves all add to the uncertainty. Industry observers and the WWE Universe alike are closely watching to see if the two-time NXT Champion, and his partner, will remain with the company beyond their current deals, or if a new chapter awaits elsewhere.
