Unfortunate Update On Karrion Kross After WWE Contract Expiry
Many wrestling fans had been eagerly anticipating Karrion Kross’ contract renewal in WWE.
Contracts of Kross and his wife, Scarlett, expired at midnight on August 10.
A few hours later, reports surfaced that both talents had been added to the promotion’s alumni page, confirming the fears of their fans.
At the same time, some have been speculating that the suspense surrounding their contracts might be a work, with WWE looking to capitalize on Kross’ growing fame.
Neither Karrion Kross, Scarlett, nor WWE has officially confirmed their exit.
While fans await, new reports suggest that Kross’ theme song Dead Silent has been removed from Spotify and Apple Music.
This move may further solidify his exit from the Stamford promotion.
In the meantime, former WWE star Shotzi Blackheart rallied for the couple, sharing a special message for them on X.
She urged his fans to stand up for him and raise their voices to push for his return.
Paul Heyman Likened Karrion Kross’ Surge In Popularity To Steve Austin’s
“The Oracle,” Paul Heyman, recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show for an interview, during which he discussed his current WWE run, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and many more.
Host Helwani did not miss the opportunity to ask him about the situation involving the 2-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross.
He’s a tremendous performer, and what an act he has with Scarlett. I mean, they are great together.
The audience itself is making him a star, and indeed, perhaps, a top star. And he’s talented enough, and so is she, to carry it, reminds me of someone else by the way that was in WWE that the audience felt, ‘This is our guy. We like this act…’ That guy’s name was Steve Austin.

“The audience is calling for him to be a bigger star. If we don’t deliver it on a correct timetable… an impatient audience is going to get behind him even more.
