Karrion Kross And Scarlett Moved To Alumni Section Of WWE's Website, But Are They Done?

Kross and Scarlett were among the first previously released talents that were brought back to WWE when Paul 'Triple H' Levesque took over as the Chief Content Officer. They signed three year deals in the summer of 2022 and re-debuted on the August 5 episode of SmackDown by attacking Drew McIntyre.

The duo failed to gain much traction with the WWE Universe during the first couple years of their contracts, but their popularity has skyrocketed over the past several months. Kross' brilliant character work, both on screen and on social media, garnered a cult-like following that only grew with each passing week.

He's consistently been among the top merchandise movers during that time. Even forcing the company to introduce a new line of a swag and to make his t-shirts available for purchase at Raw venues across the country.

Which makes the move not to re-sign him or Scarlett... suspicious.

Here we go again... is this a work or shoot?

There are numerous aspects of this situation that don't quite pass the smell test. The obvious being Kross and Scarlett's popularity and ability to move merchandise. If there's one thing that WWE values, it's a talent's power to make the company money.

Furthermore, WWE commentary was still promoting Kross' new book during both episodes of Raw and NXT this week.

Kross and Scarlett also saw their screen time increase as their contract expiration dates drew closer, which is typically the exact opposite of what happens. If WWE believes a talent isn't going to re-sign, or if management has no intention of re-signing them, they are usually pulled from television way in advance.

Kross just competed at SummerSlam last weekend against Sami Zayn, albeit in a losing effort.

It is entirely possible that WWE kept Kross and Scarlett involved creatively hoping that they'd be able to negotiate extensions in time, but multiple outlets have reported that WWE didn't even make an offer to the couple until this past week.

This is certainly a situation worth monitoring, but just be cognizant that what you read and hear regarding Karrion Kross and Scarlett over next few days could be different from the truth. Or... it could factual.

You have to love the cloud of uncertainty that is always hovering around WWE.
