For numerous years, Karrion Kross and Scarlett were part of the WWE, trying to establish themselves. Both had two runs with WWE, so unfortunate that Karrion Kross didn’t rise to the occasion as fans hoped he would. When Karrion Kross signed with WWE in 2020, the company made the signing a huge acquisition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s first run with WWE<\/h2>\n

When Kross first started in NXT, he wasted no time in making an impact. Kross targeted NXT’s top talent at the time, such as Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor.<\/p>\n

It only took him a few months to win the NXT Championship. When Kross’ questionable booking in the main roster came to light, fans immediately began questioning where things went wrong.<\/p>\n

During Kross’s first run in the main roster, he was called up without his manager\/wife, Scarlett, who was a big piece of the Karrion Kross character. His first match booking was upsetting. Kross’s debut match was a loss to Jeff Hardy in 90 seconds.<\/p>\n

WWE would then go on to have Kross change his whole character of being a destructive force possessing an hourglass to wearing a gladiator helmet and suspenders that had no meaning to his gimmick. This direction ended quickly, with both he and Scarlett being released a few months later.<\/p>\n

Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s second run with WWE<\/h2>\n

When Kross and Scarlett returned to WWE in 2022, fans expected Triple H’s regime to book them in a much better direction. Instead, Kross would go on to have only three singles matches at PLEs throughout his three-year run in his second tenure. It’s a shame that WWE didn’t capitalize on putting Kross in the main event picture.<\/p>\n

His rivalries with main event level stars still didn’t grab the WWE’s attention to push him to higher statures.<\/p>\n

What’s next for Karrion Kross and Scarlett?<\/h2>\n

Hopefully, for Karrion Kross and Scarlett, they find greater success in the professional wrestling world. Maybe the two and WWE agree to a new deal, prompting their returns as fans want them around. Just last Monday on RAW, there were numerous signs that said, “We Want Kross”.<\/p>\n

Karrion Kross is somebody who had an aura behind his character. Kross received loud fan reactions every time he appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n

Fans will never know why Kross was never in the main event position where he rightfully belonged. Based on Kross’ recent documentary, he even stated he has no issue with WWE, as he hopes to end his career with the company.<\/p>\n
