The situation between Karrion Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux, and WWE has all the time been a weird one, dating back to when many felt the couple’s contracts expiring in August was a part of a piece that might see them return to the promotion. But since it has been revealed it wasn’t the case, it’s gotten even weirder, particularly as Kross and Bordeaux share more details about their previous few months in WWE, from Kross’ viral promo following WrestleMania to WWE’s lower than desirable offer to Kross to remain.
Naturally, it’s led to people wondering if Kross’ earlier promo could have influenced WWE to make him a proposal below his pay grade. While appearing on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” nonetheless, Kross looked as if it would dismiss that concept, stating that things had already gotten odd between him, Bordeaux, and WWE all the best way back in January.
“So I feel like at the peak of what we were doing on TV with our character presentations with Final Testament and stuff like that, I feel like we were entering something recent and fun, actually with Miz…” Kross said. “The dynamic of Miz and I having the ability to, not less than for me, show some range, as an alternative of just being the brooding, cryptic guy [who] you never know what he’s talking about until it’s too late otherwise you never even know what the hell he’s talking about normally, because some stuff never got paid off…
“But working with him, after which working with the Wyatts, I feel like ‘Now, the things were beginning to connect with people,’ you realize? So…January rolls around, we had the conversation about remaining with the corporate. I feel like we’re form of at…at the moment, at our peak, by way of connection and a few of our greatest work. Then the entire group was fired. And we’re just doing backstages, and I wrestle I feel one time before WrestleMania against AJ, and that was it.”
Scarlett Bordeaux Reveals WWE Was Keeping Her Off TV Leading Up To WrestleMania
It was then Bordeaux chimed in together with her own experience following January and the discharge of her and Kross’ Final Testament stablemates. In line with each her and Kross, WWE suddenly began leaving Bordeaux out of backstage vignettes that Kross can be an element of. It was only after Bordeaux returned to Kross’ side during a backstage segment involving him and AJ Styles that the couple learned that WWE was attempting to phase Bordeaux out of Kross’ presentation.
“So, there have been a couple of people within the locker room that might all the time fight for us,” Bordeaux said. “AJ Styles was certainly one of them. AJ would all the time fight for us, Miz would all the time fight for us. Great people. So, each time we needed to do a backstage [segment]…I do know some people noticed ‘Oh, why is not Scarlett on this?’ Each week, Kross would ask ‘Why is not Scarlett written into this? She will just be there.’ They said ‘Oh, not this week, not this week.’
“So a couple of months went by. AJ’s alleged to be on this backstage with us, and he like ‘It doesn’t make sense that you simply’re not on this.’ And I’m like ‘Well that is what I believed too, but every week, they are saying no.’ AJ went to the office, got approved that I might be in it. In a while, we shoot that, and certainly one of the producers comes as much as me and says ‘How did you sneak yourself in there?’ And I’m like ‘So this has been something that is been talked about, to remove me. It felt that way, needless to say.”
