Reports have surfaced indicating that Karrion Kross has been presented with a new contract offer by WWE as his current deal nears expiration this week. This update comes amid uncertainty surrounding Scarlett’s contract status, which is also set to expire soon.
Earlier, Fightful Select reported that both Kross and Scarlett had not yet received renewal offers as of August 5, citing information from a WWE insider. However, recent information from wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer clarifies that while the absence of signed contracts was accurate at that time, Kross has now been offered a new deal by WWE.
Insights From Wrestling Observer Radio and Recent Appearances
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer addressed the situation directly, stating,
“I was told that he has gotten an offer, I don’t expect him to go anywhere.”
This confirms that WWE intends to retain Kross despite prior ambiguity. Kross most recently competed at SummerSlam, where he was defeated in a singles match by Sami Zayn.
Neither Kross nor Scarlett appeared backstage during the August 4 episode of WWE Raw, which has contributed to ongoing speculation about their future roles within the company.
Context and What This Means Moving Forward
The chance that Karrion Kross remains with WWE offers fans and industry observers some reassurance, even though Scarlett’s status remains unclear. Given that the duo’s contracts were both due to expire around the same time, the delay in Scarlett’s contract negotiations raises questions about her position within WWE’s plans.
As WWE continues adjusting its roster and creative approach, particularly following recent signings and departures, the resolution of Kross and Scarlett’s contract situations will likely influence creative storylines and backstage dynamics. Updates on their statuses will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
