This past August, Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux were strangely released from WWE, because the duo had finally began to relate to the audience and earn a big amount of TV time throughout the summer. Ultimately, this led many to think that Kross and Bordeaux were still working with the corporate despite the announcement of their departure, because the couple’s overall popularity made fans imagine that the discharge was a part of a storyline. Nevertheless, it wasn’t just fans who questioned the move, as Kross recently told Sean Ross Sapp in an interview with “Fightful” that wrestlers inside the industry were asking him about his contract status, and revealed that only a few people were aware of the reality.
“Literally everyone. Nobody knew exactly what was happening,” he said. “My hope was that we could just take every part occurring and permit it to be canon for the entertainment of the viewers. Nothing is the tip of the world in wrestling. That is something I learned in a short time … nobody knew exactly what was occurring aside from Scarlett after which eventually Hunter.”
Kross also commented on the general fan response to parting ways with WWE, stating that the timing of the discharge is what caused the continuing speculation of their status with the corporate.
“I feel people were aloof and confused as as to if or not it was a piece or it was a shoot since the character was on such an increase within the programming when it comes to having a reference to the audience that folks just naturally thought, there is not any way that the corporate goes to let him walk.”
Kross continued by sharing that several wrestling promotions desired to book him immediately after his WWE release, but were cautious about conversing with him as they honestly didn’t know if he was still with the corporate.
