Karrion Kross and Scarlett Depart WWE, Join Alumni Ranks

The shake-up has fueled debate over whether the exits mark a true contract lapse or a staged storyline.

Overview

  • Their contracts expired on August 10, and WWE moved both performers to its alumni section on WWE.com, officially listing them as free agents.
  • In a two-part vlog, Karrion Kross recounted a failed January renegotiation, criticized creative constraints and described the final talks as short and “profoundly disappointing.”
  • Scarlett Bordeaux posted a public farewell thanking the locker room and fans and announced she is now open to outside bookings and appearances.
  • News outlets remain split on whether WWE extended late offers, with Fightful reporting no new deal and Wrestling Observer claiming a proposal was made, deepening insider uncertainty.
  • A vigorous #WeWantKross fan movement and WWE’s recent reality-storyline blurring have driven speculation over a worked-shoot angle and talk of moves to AEW, TNA or NJPW.
