A significant update has emerged regarding the contract status of Karrion Kross and Scarlett from Smackdown. According to a recent report by Fightful Select, WWE officials have indicated that the contracts of the duo are set to expire this weekend, with no new agreements currently offered.
Sources inside WWE have confirmed that Kross and Scarlett’s existing contracts are expected to end this weekend, and neither wrestler has been signed to a new deal. Adding complexity to the situation, it appears that neither Kross nor Scarlett has been notified about their contracts potentially not being renewed.
Additionally, it was confirmed that neither Kross nor Scarlett was scheduled to appear on or behind the scenes for Monday night’s Raw episode in Brooklyn. This follows an earlier report where Kross mentioned to industry contacts that his contract was due to expire in August.
Their possible exit comes shortly after they were prominently featured in a major Smackdown storyline on Friday night. The pair played a crucial role in the buildup to SummerSlam’s main event, engaging in psychological battles with Cody Rhodes and John Cena during a heated rivalry. If their contracts do indeed expire this weekend, their final major storyline would have been showcased in the main event segments on Smackdown.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans because Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been key players in some of Smackdown’s most compelling storylines recently. Their potential departure could signal a shift in WWE’s creative direction and open doors for new talent to emerge, which could greatly impact the future landscape of the sport.
