Beloved WWE star’s contract ‘expires this weekend’ with no deal in sight

A top WWE Raw superstar could be leaving in a matter of days.

This weekend, the current deals for Karrion Kross and his real life wife Scarlett are set to expire, and reports suggest neither star have settled on a new contract.

After months of fans rallying behind the former NXT Champion and loudly chanting his name at SummerSlam over the weekend, the duo could be on their way out.

As reported by Fightful Select, the pair – who didn’t feature on Monday Night Raw this week – haven’t been offered new deals days after he lost to Sami Zayn at the stadium show.

However, the outlet added that neither star has been told their contracts will be lapsing, which could suggest there’s still hope they’ll remain with the company.

They haven’t addressed the situation publicly, but Karrion did respond on social media after fans chanting ‘we want Kross’ at boss Triple H was brushed off as ‘we want Brock’ chants.

‘I heard you loud and clear,’ he wrote on X, before adding: ‘Unreal. They write the scripts… But the fans write the truth. Thank you, Tick tock.’

It’s safe to say a lot of fans are disappointed at the prospect of Karrion and Scarlett leaving, with plenty of people pointing to their potential as major players.

‘Karrion Kross has to be up there with the biggest waste of talent in the WWE of all time. Hopefully this isn’t if for him though,’ wrote @r0w4n_k3r1m.

And @chris_xcom added: ‘Wherever Kross lands, if it’s renewed with the WWE or elsewhere – Kross and Scarlet are going to be serious draws. He was just starting to come into his own for his character. And Scarlet just needs the opportunity.’

However, after Seth Rollins recently fooled everyone with his injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event, some people are remaining sceptical about this situation.

‘We definitely getting worked lmaooo,’ joked @johnathanvolk, with other fans expecting them to remain with the company.

The duo first signed with WWE in 2020, remaining with the company until November the following year when they were both released.

By August 2022, Karrion and Scarlett had been re-signed and returned on SmackDown, feuding with the likes of Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles.

For much of 2024, he fronted the Final Testament group with Authors of Pain, and feuded with The Pride and the Wyatt Family.

This year, he’s been featured weekly on Raw – albeit sometimes in short promos in between the main action – but his merch has sold well for WWE, and fan support has been steadily growing.

Netflix is the home of WWE in the UK.
