"Go to AEW" - Fans make feelings known after top star leaves WWE

A major WWE duo has seemingly made their exits from the sports entertainment juggernaut. It appears that a section of fans want the stars in question, Scarlett and Karrion Kross, to cross over to AEW.

The Herald of Doomsday and The Smokeshow returned to WWE in 2022, less than a year after their initial release from the company. Scarlett accompanied and aided Kross in his feuds against stars like Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, and AJ Styles, and was a member of The Final Testament alongside her husband, The Authors of Pain, and Paul Ellering. Both Scarlett and Kross continued to be featured on television even after the faction got disbanded, owing in large part to positive responses to their character work.

However, news broke recently that WWE has elected not to renew either Scarlett's contract or Kross', marking the end of their latest run in the company. Scarlett confirmed the rumor some time earlier with a heartfelt social media post where she thanked her colleagues and her fans for their support.

Fans quickly flocked to X/Twitter to respond to Scarlett Bordeaux's tweet. While most users called out the Stamford-based promotion for letting her and Karrion Kross go, and wished the duo the best for their future, a number of comments suggested that they should consider jumping ship to AEW, although opposition was voiced to that opinion as well.

It remains to be seen where Scarlett and Kross will appear next in the pro wrestling industry.

AEW's Dustin Rhodes on Karrion Kross' WWE exit

Wrestling fans from across the world have expressed their disappointment with WWE not renewing Karrion Kross' deal. Some time after his exit from the company, former AEW TNT Champion Dustin Rhodes voiced his support for The Devil of Monterrey on X/Twitter, echoing popular sympathy for the star over his release despite his work ethic and performances.

"I understand the "Good Soldier " thing all too well. Sux," wrote Rhodes.

The Natural also praised the former NXT Champion, writing:

"He's a great dude," he wrote.

Whether Rhodes might end up crossing paths with Kross in AEW remains to be seen.
