Karrion Kross‘ WWE chapter appears to have concluded as both his and Scarlett Bordeaux‘s contracts have expired with no renewal in sight. Samantha Irvin, a fellow former WWE employee, recently addressed Kross’ comments about how his words have been misunderstood amid his departure, reflecting on the challenges that come with navigating public perception.
After his initial release, Karrion Kross returned to WWE in August 2022, where he engaged in high-profile feuds against Drew McIntyre, The New Day, AJ Styles, and Sami Zayn. Although not placed among WWE’s main event stars, Kross’ character development, especially alongside his wife Scarlett Bordeaux, significantly increased his fanbase and elevated audience interest.
The Stamford-based wrestling promotion chose not to extend the contracts of Kross and Scarlett, signaling the end of their current run. In response to Kross’ candid remarks in a recent YouTube vlog discussing his uncertain status, Samantha Irvin took to X/Twitter to support his viewpoint about the way public opinion is often shaped by distorted information.
“Man, what Karrion said about people twisting what you say, creating sensationalized headlines, never looking into the actual context and forming their opinions based on that… REAL [broken heart emoji],” said Irvin.
Irvin’s perspective carries added weight as she is married to Ricochet, who left WWE for AEW last year. The situation highlights broader discussions within the wrestling community regarding how talent departures are handled and perceived.

Scarlett Bordeaux played a crucial role in enhancing Karrion Kross’ WWE persona and storytelling style. After the news of their departures surfaced, Scarlett expressed her gratitude and emotions in a heartfelt message posted on X/Twitter, acknowledging both her colleagues and fans for their unwavering support.
“My time in [World Wrestling Entertainment] has been an incredible ride, and I can truly say it’s been the best locker room I’ve ever been part of. These people aren’t just coworkers, they’re family. I love you all, and I’ll deeply miss seeing you every week. To the fans, you’ve never just been a crowd. You’ve been our partners in every fight and the reason we give everything for this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. The next chapter starts now and I’m ready to bring something unforgettable to any stage, anywhere in the world,” wrote Scarlett.
Whether Scarlett and Kross will next feature in promotions such as TNA, NJPW, or AEW is still uncertain, but their combined talents suggest they will continue to make an impact wherever they go.
