Wrestling Fans Have No Idea What’s Going On With Karrion Kross, And There Are Conflicting Stories Everywhere

by

It’s not unusual for wrestlers to part ways with the WWE, but these departures can still be disappointing for fans. A clear example is R-Truth’s unexpected exit and comeback this year. Among recent pro-wrestling tales, however, none has been as captivating as the ongoing drama involving Karrion Kross and Scarlett, whose contracts reportedly ended over the weekend.

Currently, the hashtag #WeWantKross is still popular on social platforms, fueling speculation among wrestling enthusiasts about whether the mentioned team will appear on WWE programming in the near future. Reporters, meanwhile, are working diligently to uncover the truth behind this situation. At this moment, here’s what we know about the current status of events.

Karrion Kross And Scarlett’s Contract Expiration Was Allegedly Legitimate

A point of interest brought up by WWE: Unreal (a series accessible with a Netflix subscription) is that Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s agreement ended without renewal, signifying they are no longer associated with the company. However, Fightful reported that the circumstances remain unclear, leading other wrestling organizations to hesitate about reaching out, as it seems like we might be part of a setup, implying that the duo could rejoin.

During the period when Karrion Kross’s contract was coming to an end, he also released a documentary detailing his perspective on the situation. In this documentary, he and Scarlett, through their X accounts, expressed their willingness to appear on other wrestling shows. It seems unusual that he would speak so openly about his contract in the documentary if negotiations were still ongoing, but perhaps it’s all part of a carefully crafted narrative?

There’s A Alleged Belief Within The WWE That Kross And Scarlett Will Return

It turns out that Kross didn’t have any idea at the moment that he would later need that footage. He asserted that it was an impromptu, unplanned promotional event, correct? Cody Rhodes has recently expressed an opinion on The Bill Simmons Podcast. From Rhodes’ point of view, the Montreal Screwjob might have been a prearranged scenario, and he pointed out that there were cameras backstage at a time when such practice was not typical in the WWE.

It’s curious to me why Karrion Kross had a documentary crew recording his promotional appearance following WrestleMania 41, as it may have contributed to the reported conflict between him and WWE management.

More On The WWE

Reflecting on Hulk Hogan’s passing stirs up memories of my 10th birthday party and the unforgettable mayhem reminiscent of a WWE event from the 1980s, transporting me back to those thrilling times.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, there’s widespread doubt within WWE about the authenticity of Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s release. Although no one has confirmed it definitively, the prevailing sentiment, as reported by Meltz, is that these two talents may soon receive new contracts and rejoin WWE. While their contract expiration might seem genuine on the surface, who knows what secret negotiations are taking place in private, away from prying eyes?

Without any exclusive information, I can’t help but notice once more the WWE’s persistent approach to revealing behind-the-scenes wrestling aspects, as they have done with “WWE: Unreal”. The series was heavily advertised, even during matches at SummerSlam. Furthermore, the current situation involving Karrion Kross seems to offer a scripted glimpse into the unscripted events that unfold after a wrestler leaves the company.

It seems unusual that the WWE, given their recent mishap with R-Truth, would stumble over negotiations with another talent so rapidly. Unlike the Braun Strowman release or other wrestler situations we’ve witnessed recently, this case appears distinct. Fans are aware of the consequences when the WWE makes a genuine mistake and lets go of a popular superstar like R-Truth. The Karrion Kross situation, on the other hand, feels more unique in comparison.

This situation seems reminiscent of a typical WWE narrative where an audience favorite wrestler rebels against management and emerges victorious in the end. Over the years, the WWE has employed this storyline with figures like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Daniel Bryan, Kofi Kingston, among others. The fans usually rejoice when a new potential star is chosen by the crowd. While it appears that the WWE might be orchestrating this development artificially, only time will tell for certain.

On Monday evenings at 8:00 p.m. ET, you can catch “Monday Night Raw” streaming live on Netflix. It wouldn’t surprise me if we hear a “We want Kross” cheer before the show wraps up. Until we find out whether he’ll stick around or move elsewhere, take a peek at our 2025 TV schedule for all the exciting content coming your way in the near future.
