WWE let's Karrion Kross' contract expire and will not re-sign him and Scarlett Bordeaux.
Here are some quotes from Karrion Kross regarding his departure. He did not hold back:
"It’s probably the hardest part of the gig when you know you can give more and they tell you, "don’t hit a home run". Hit that to the outfield and run to second. Make sure you stop on second. Do not run home". One day, you don’t get the home run, but you run far enough to get past second, and you do run home. You’re on the court playing basketball. They tell you to pass, but you have a three-point shot right there. We’re all on the same team and trying to win the game. You shoot and get the three points. They’re mad at you. Why? Why are they mad about the extra three points?"
"August 10th, it’s up. That’s another situation where it’s like, on top of everything else that’s going on, that’s confusing and stressful because I expressed interest to renegotiate in early January with WWE. I think it’s crazy, it’s preposterous for anyone to think that I wouldn’t want to be here or go somewhere else. It’s nothing against anywhere else, but I’m fully committed. I’m here."
"Many months have gone by, and we never had a single conversation about it until recently, and I don’t even feel like the conversation I had recently was an actual serious one. The conversation made me really angry because I didn’t feel like it was a real conversation. Someone had contacted me, and we briefly discussed, it was a very short conversation, and the conversation was done. There wasn’t really anything that was discussed of real substance. It didn’t make me angry or upset, it just profoundly disappointed me because I think about this business probably differently than the person I was speaking to because of the nature of what I do."
Despite the "We Want Kross" chants from fans, WWE let go of Karrion Kross. Triple H did everything in his power to keep Kross from leaving WWE a few years ago because Vince McMahon did not want him but Triple H did a 180. WWE has never liked a wrestler getting over organically. Kross was known as Killer Kross & I think he & his girlfriend will make a great addition to AEW.
