The contract situation became one of the most talked-about topics in wrestling over the past month.

I see things being written online right now, specifically today. A lot of what I read is not true. I hate to disappoint people but I don’t wanna bullsht. But, I hope so. I hope we do come back.”The couple were reportedly scheduled for a Raw appearance earlier this month, but travel plans were changed and the segment was scrapped. While creative ideas for Kross had been discussed, no concrete plans were finalized.Adding to the intrigue, Scarlett released her own statement on X confirming her exit.“My time in WWE has been an incredible ride, and I can truly say it’s been the best locker room I’ve ever been part of,” she wrote. Thanking fans for their support, she added, “The next chapter starts now and I’m ready to bring something unforgettable to any stage, anywhere in the world.”
What’s next for Karrion Kross and Scarlett?
With their WWE contracts now expired, Kross and Scarlett are reportedly free agents — but their next move may be complicated. Industry insiders note that TNA Wrestling is a possibility, especially with a new regime in place since Kross’ less-than-pleasant exit years ago. NJPW could also be a fit, given Kross’ imposing in-ring style and proven ability to play a dominant heel.However, the wrestling landscape has shifted since their last run outside WWE. WWE’s active partnership with TNA, as well as its recent acquisition of AAA, could influence whether certain doors remain open. Some independent promoters have even expressed hesitation to reach out, unsure whether the situation is entirely genuine or part of a cleverly orchestrated storyline.Also Read: The Beast Returns: Why Brock Lesnar is Important in John Cena’s WWE Farewell TourRegardless, fan support for Kross has surged in 2025, with “#WeWantKross” chants breaking out at live events and online.
