In August 2022, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux returned to WWE SmackDown by attacking Drew McIntyre.
Following their return, they signed a three-year contract with WWE, which now seems to end on August 10, 2025.
With this, we can now officially confirm that Kross and Scarlett are not part of WWE as they have not signed any new contract, and both have moved to the Alumni section on the WWE Website, a clear signal of departure.
Despite his departure from WWE, fans continue to support Kross and want him to return to the company, chanting “We Want Kross” during SummerSlam weekend.
We want Kross.

We want Scarlett.
We want Better.
There is also quite a buzz on social media regarding Kross’s departure from WWE, with the #WeWantKross movement gaining traction.
However, with all the buzz circulating in the media, Kross finally addressed the situation by releasing a video on his Killer Kross YouTube channel titled “My WWE Contract Ends Today.“
In the video, he spoke about his departure from WWE and expressed his dissatisfaction with the proposed new deal. He stated:
I expressed interest to renegotiate in early January with WWE. Like I think it’s crazy. It’s like preposterous that anyone would think that I wouldn’t want to be here or like go somewhere else. And it’s nothing against anywhere else, but like I’m fully committed. I’m here. Like I like I I there isn’t a world that exists where I don’t think I’ve ever made that so entirely clear. But maybe it’s just the general nature of people where they think like, you know, in in all things like if something’s not working out, they’ll go somewhere else. Like I’m really not like that. like I will bang my head against the pavement until, you know, the sidewalk breaks and we get to the basement. Like I it’s just the way I don’t know. It’s just the way I am.
On the other hand, Scaarlett shared an emotional farewell, calling her WWE experience “incredible” and highlighting the people as more than coworkers, “family.”
My time in WWE has been an incredible ride, and I can truly say it’s been the best locker room I’ve ever been part of. These people aren’t just coworkers, they’re family. I love you all, and I’ll deeply miss seeing you every week.

To the fans, you’ve never just been a crowd.…
Following their departure from WWE, there is speculation that the couple, Kross and Scarlett, will join AEW soon.
While Tony Khan or any AEW official has not confirmed the arrival of this power couple on the platform, considering the current situation, there is a good possibility.
Furthermore, Kross is now a free agent and is open to any new booking and endorsement. So, for a while, we might not see this power couple in the ring.

With this rising concern about the potential future of the former WWE couple fans and raising questions about WWE’s recent activities, they are pretty frustrated with the network.
While things are not yet confirmed, there is a good chance that we will see both of them in the ring shortly.
Therefore, the question that fans were asking for a long time, i.e., Is Karrion Koss leaving WWE? Now seems to have an answer that fans don’t like, which is Yes, Karrion Koss is leaving WWE, not in very good terms.
