After a notable tenure with WWE, Scarlett Bordeaux and Karrion Kross (formerly known as Killer Kross) have transitioned into the independent wrestling scene, marking a significant chapter in their careers.
Departure from WWE
In August 2025, both Scarlett and Kross's WWE contracts expired and were not renewed, officially concluding their three-year second stint with the company. Unlike their abrupt release in 2021, this departure was a mutual decision, with both parties agreeing not to renew their contracts. This move allowed them to explore new opportunities and creative freedom outside WWE's structure.
Post-WWE Endeavors
Since their departure, Scarlett and Kross have been actively engaging with various independent wrestling promotions. They made their first post-WWE in-ring appearance at WrestlePro's "Killer Smokeshow" event on September 21, 2025, in Rahway, New Jersey. This event marked a successful return to the ring, showcasing their enduring popularity and in-ring prowess.
Looking ahead, the duo is set to return to Major League Wrestling (MLW) after a three-year absence. They are scheduled to appear at the MLW x Don Gato Live Special on November 20, 2025, in Charleston, South Carolina. Their return to MLW is highly anticipated, with fans eager to see how they will impact the promotion's evolving landscape.
Future Prospects
While currently focusing on independent circuits, both Scarlett and Kross have expressed openness to future opportunities with major promotions like AEW. However, they have emphasized the importance of aligning with a promotion that shares their creative vision and long-term goals. They have stated that any potential move would require a commitment to making it their permanent home, ensuring a mutually beneficial relationship.
Conclusion
Scarlett Bordeaux and Karrion Kross's departure from WWE has paved the way for an exciting new phase in their wrestling careers. Their ventures into independent promotions have been met with enthusiasm, and their upcoming appearances are highly anticipated by fans. As they continue to explore new opportunities, it will be intriguing to see how they shape the future of professional wrestling.
