The WWE futures of Karrion Kross and Scarlett remain uncertain as reports indicate their contracts have expired. Their profiles were recently shifted to the alumni section on WWE’s website, suggesting a potential departure from the Stamford-based company. This move coincides with the expiration of their deals on August 10, raising speculation about whether their exit is genuine or part of a storyline.
Karrion Kross, a former two-time NXT Champion, rose quickly in popularity, notably delivering a shoot promo during WrestleMania 41 weekend that caught fans’ attention. With WWE’s ongoing creative directions, including recent plotlines surrounding Seth Rollins’ knee injury ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2025, some insiders believe the couple’s apparent exit might be scripted rather than a permanent goodbye.
Past Involvement and Current Industry Perspectives
Kross and Scarlett made their return to WWE in 2022 under the leadership of Triple H’s creative team. They were involved in several significant storylines, including mixed tag matches and aligning creatively with the Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering to form a group called The Final Testament. However, the faction dissolved within about a year following AOP and Ellering’s release from the company.
Despite these setbacks, Karrion Kross organically maintained his momentum within WWE. Industry veteran Vince Russo has expressed a favorable opinion about the couple’s potential outside WWE, stating that their talents position them to succeed independently. Russo suggested that leaving WWE could be advantageous for them given their abilities and creativity.
“Trips NOT Resigning (sic) @realKILLERkross and @Lady_Scarlett13 will be the ABSOLUTE BEST THING that could happen to the both of them. They have proven time and time again that they are better than 95% of the Roster. Unfortunately, when the Boss KNOWS that you’re Smarter than him—that’s a Curse in Pro Wrestling. Go to Hollywood—you Guys are STARS. You leave the @WWE—You THRIVE,” Russo tweeted.
What the Future May Hold for Karrion Kross and Scarlett
The situation surrounding Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s WWE status remains fluid, with decisions expected soon. Whether the move to the alumni section signifies a legitimate contract end or a new creative angle, fans and insiders alike are closely watching. Their next steps could have significant implications for both their careers and WWE’s roster plans.
If the exit proves to be a storyline, it might lead to fresh opportunities, possibly reintroducing them with renewed momentum. Alternatively, a genuine departure could see them explore other platforms where, as Vince Russo predicted, they could thrive. Their popularity and talent ensure their actions will be closely followed in the wrestling world moving forward.
