Karrion Kross & Scarlett Tell Hilarious First Date Story: “He Fell Asleep”

Karrion Kross and Scarlett are happily married, but their first date was memorable for a unique reason.

The WWE careers of Karrion Kross and Scarlett ended in August 2025 after a three-year run with the company. It was their second run in WWE, and this time it ended without new contracts being offered to them.

While many fans may be angry that Kross and his wife, Scarlett, are no longer in WWE, Kross is doing very well as Killer Kross and recently won the MLW World Heavyweight Title with his wife by his side.

The former Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been married since April 2022, after they started dating a few years earlier. Talking to TV Insider, they revealed that Kross actually fell asleep during their first date.

Scarlett: Well, he fell asleep on our first date.

Kross: Sure did.

Scarlett: We went to see Halloween Ends in LA on our first date.

Kross: John Morrison, John Hennigan, suggested a really cool theater that we went to. It was very unique. The movie starts, her and I are throwing popcorn at each other. We’re maybe the only people in the theater, so we were maybe behaving very chaotically.

Scarlett: He got so comfortable when we were holding hands he fell asleep and properly snoring through the movie.

Kross: Yep, I sure did. And we love those movies. It wasn’t like I wasn’t enjoying it.

Scarlett: I thought, “Oh my God, he is so bored.” He was like, “No, I was just comfortable.”

Kross: It still happens. We’re watching TV at home, and I’m falling asleep.

Karrion Kross And Scarlett Are Overwhelmed By Fan Support

Even though they are no longer WWE superstars, Karrion Kross and Scarlett are still very active as pro wrestlers working for MLW, the independent scene, appearing at conventions and meeting fans.

In the same interview with TV Insider, Kross spoke about the connection they have with the fans.

“We’ve learned a lot about different markets, in wrestling and entertainment that we would not have been able to learn had we been inside the machine. Believe me when I tell you, and I think Scarlett will tell you the same, we’re very happy where we are at. I can tell you maybe we would not have been if the audience did not come with us.

I understand some people with how they perceive the world and their reality of what is going on through their newsfeed, if we’re not being shoved down their throats in their feed, maybe they think we’ve disappeared.

But let me tell you, we’re in two or three major cities every weekend and thousands of people come to see us whether it’s comic cons or conventions, independent wrestling shows.

The amount of love and support we are getting from the wrestling audience or people who just enjoy entertainment stuff has been overwhelming. Truthfully, I thought it may have simmered back a little bit a few months ago. It hasn’t. It is actually getting bigger and growing.”
