Karrion Kross and Scarlett Call Out WWE Talks and Put AEW Plans on Hold

They insist on a full-commitment, creative-first deal before choosing their next home.

Overview

  • In a newly released Insight interview on Oct. 7, Scarlett said WWE treating her value as contingent on Karrion Kross signing felt misogynistic and like leverage.
  • Kross said WWE presented a 24-hour deadline to accept an offer and told him they would address Scarlett only after finalizing his deal.
  • He recalled a prior NXT-to-Raw move where he was told the same thing, after which Scarlett was left off television, reinforcing their decision to avoid a repeat.
  • Both said they have had past conversations with AEW leadership but will not join AEW now because they will only sign when they can commit fully.
  • The duo left WWE in August when their contracts expired, are working high-profile indies such as GCW and MLW, and Scarlett is preparing to return to in-ring action.
