Ever feel like you just missed a backstage punch-drunk scene from a wrestling soap opera? That’s exactly what went down with Karrion Kross and Scarlett after this year’s SummerSlam. A swirl of contract drama, canceled trip plans, and crowd chants created a buzz louder than a packed arena. Let’s break it down.
The Booking That Vanished RAW Plans Canceled
Originally, Kross and Scarlett were slated to hit the road after SummerSlam and make an appearance on Monday Night RAW in Brooklyn. But then poof plans changed. No explanation, no mention just a no-show that had fans scratching their heads. Promoters, teammates, everybody was left wondering what went sideways.
Were Contracts at the Root of the Ruckus?
Turns out, there’s more than just travel trouble. As of August 10, both Kross and Scarlett were moved to WWE’s alumni roster, meaning their contracts officially expired. Kross himself later confirmed he had offered to negotiate renewal WAY back in January but nothing real materialized. He called it “profoundly disappointing,” not angry but definitely not okay.
Travel vs. Contract Shock
| Issue | What Went Down |
|---|---|
| Travel Change | Scheduled RAW appearance canceled at last minute no on-screen explanation |
| Roster Status | Moved to WWE alumni section on August 10 after contract expiration |
| Kross’s Take | Wanted to stay tried negotiating since January “disappointed” by lack of dialogue |
| Fan Response | Loud chants of “We Want Kross” at SummerSlam crowd clearly wanted more |
Fan Energy and the “We Want Kross” Echo
Let’s not ignore that electricity in the air. Fans were ROARING for Kross even though his match didn’t go his way. The “We Want Kross” chant echoed so loud that Triple H tried to shrug it off with, “You want Brock? You got him.” But for Kross fans, that only proved the point this wasn’t a storyline.
Conclusion
The drama around Karrion Kross and Scarlett reads like a short wrestling novella canceled booking, contract cliffhanger, and a crowd refusing to let the tale end. Whether this is a creative twist or a real chapter closing, one thing’s clear: neither the audience nor the spotlight is ready to let them fade away.
