Karrion Kross Reveals WWE Ultimatum In Days Before Exit

Karrion Kross was offered a contract by WWE.

After weeks and months of speculation, it was finally confirmed on August 10 that Karrion Kross and Scarlett had left WWE. Throughout 2025, the couple had enjoyed a remarkable spike in popularity, but despite that, they now find themselves free agents.

Or at least that’s the official line.

There’s been major speculation that the exits are just another WWE storyline, and the couple will return to television in the coming weeks.

Following their departures, it was reported that WWE confiscated several signs on Raw that offered support to Karrion Kross. However, others noted that the expected chants for Kross never arrived, and the taping came and went without incident.

Karrion Kross Gives Insight Into WWE Talks

In a new interview with Ariel Helwani, Kross has lifted the lid on his departure from the company and the talks that preceded it. Kross began by stating that he wasn’t in character and the interview was “legit,” before confirming that he was offered a contract by WWE.

However, he was told he had 24 hours to sign the agreement before it was rescinded.

“I got the offer. I wanted to know how they came to the valuation of that offer. Just wanted some information, some metrics, some analytics that’s supporting to, Hey, this is how we got here. When I inquired about that, they were unwilling to provide that information and told me they had 24 hours to agree to the offer or they were [rescinding] it.

The next day, we talk. I ask if they have the information. They don’t. I said, I can’t make an informed decision without the information. I’d like to keep the dialogue open. They [rescinded] the offer, and that’s actually where we’re at.”

Kross added that his wife, Scarlett, didn’t receive an offer, with the company telling him that they planned to talk to her after wrapping up his contract. Although that didn’t end up happening, at least yet, he added that he remains determined to return to WWE.

“The goal has always been to be with WWE. My wife and I still want to be with WWE. I’m at the table for conversations. I did not step out of the conversation. You know what I mean? We still want to be there. We still want to work it out.”

Karrion Kross wrestled his final WWE match at SummerSlam where he was beaten by Sami Zayn.
