Recently, former WWE Superstar Scarlett Bordeaux reunited with Rhea Ripley in a heartfelt meeting that resonated with fans of the wrestling world. Scarlett, who once competed on SmackDown, shared this reunion on social media alongside her husband, Karrion Kross, highlighting their shared passion for metal and horror themes.
Their gathering marked a sentimental moment after both Scarlett and Karrion, who had previously been part of WWE, parted ways with the company in August 2025 despite their popularity with fans.
Karrion Kross Reflects on WWE Departure and Future Plans
Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux initially joined WWE in 2020 and had a brief first run before returning in 2022. During that time, Kross established himself as a fan favorite, with audiences eager for him to gain main event status. Nevertheless, when their contracts ended in 2025, neither renewed, leading to their exit from the Stamford promotion.
In a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Kross expressed a strong desire to return to WWE alongside Scarlett, despite the challenges and frustrations they experienced during their tenure.
“I would prefer to go back home with my wife, that’s what I’d prefer to do, and let’s give people what they want. [Home meaning WWE?] Absolutely. [(…) Despite the fact you’ve had multiple frustrations since you joined, you still want to go back] Yes. [You still call it home?] Yup,” said Kross.
Currently, both Kross and Scarlett compete within independent wrestling promotions, with speculation around potential contracts from AEW under Tony Khan circulating, though no official deals have been reported yet.
Significance of the Reunion and What Lies Ahead
The reunion between Rhea Ripley and Scarlett Bordeaux serves as a poignant reminder of the strong bonds formed within WWE’s community, especially among performers who share similar tastes and backgrounds. Their connection goes beyond wrestling, encompassing personal interests that strengthen their rapport.
Karrion Kross’s openness about returning to WWE, coupled with Scarlett’s emotional message, suggests that these athletes are still deeply connected to their roots in the Stamford-based company. Fans will be watching closely to see if this reunion leads to further involvement in WWE or if the couple carves out new paths in other wrestling organizations.
