One person isn't "buying" Karrion Kross & Scarlett's WWE exit

Karrion Kross and Scarlett are making fresh moves after their WWE exit. There has been ambiguity surrounding their future after their departure from WWE was confirmed on August 10. Many fans still believe it is a work, while there is also a notion that they might be done with the Stamford-based promotion for real.

Now, Dave Meltzer has shed light on how their status as free agents is being perceived on the independents. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Meltzer mentioned that a source from the independent wrestling scene told them that both Kross and Scarlett were charging a "very high price tag" for bookings.

However, Meltzer noted that the same person told them that they "weren't buying any of this," questioning the free agency of the recently released WWE duo. This report adds to the growing skepticism around Kross and Scarlett's WWE departure.

Fans have raised doubts over their exit, believing it could be an elaborate work to fool the audiences, similar to what WWE did with R-Truth a couple of months ago.

In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Kross mentioned that he was offered a new deal and asked to make a decision within 24 hours. But when he wanted to get more details, the offer was eventually rescinded. The Harbinger of Doom also revealed that his wife, Scarlett, wasn't offered a new contract.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
