More on Kross & Scarlett to WWE
Added 2022-08-08 18:24:38 +0000 UTCKarrion Kross & Scarlett are back in WWE.
Fightful learned last week that talks with the two had picked up, though they'd claimed as of Monday when we reached out for a separate story that they'd not yet been contacted. For those asking about their MLW status, the two were never signed to MLW contracts, and despite being advertised for the CYN live tour, had not committed to those dates, either.
Triple H is a big supporter of Karrion Kross and Scarlett, and was said to have been "dismayed" by his handling on the WWE main roster last year. The duo have appeared on the company's internal roster today, positioned as the #2 heels on Smackdown behind Roman Reigns.
We're told that Kross was adamant outside of WWE that Scarlett remain a part of his presentation, to the point he passed up an AEW match with Wardlow. He didn't want his presentation moving forward to be reminiscent of the Raw run that left a bad taste in people's mouths.

There's plenty of evidence out there on his socials, along with him being a supporter of Drake Wuertz he also has two pretty suspect tattoos, Molon Labe and a Valknut, both of which are symbols adopted by far-right white nationalists

2022-08-08 21:32:58 +0000 UTCI've seen a few people saying he's anti-vax, MAGA, QANON, but those people have presented absolutely no evidence of that. If you make those kind of claims, you have to have evidence. It's just Twitter BS nonsense otherwise.

2022-08-08 20:08:55 +0000 UTCI don't get it either. The only criticism that is unsatisfying is his injury history with the title. I think this is a great way to separate the titles again and have a cool heel to give Roman a vacation but KK shouldn't have a title on him for much more than 1 or 2 "Big 5" PPV cycles. After seeing the differences in the past month you've got to wonder if Vince was subconsciously jealous of HHH's success in Orlando. This he decided to sabotage everything, Karrion and Dakota on an individual level before taking a torch to the black and gold.

2022-08-08 19:58:58 +0000 UTCKross deserves it given how horribly Vince botched his first main event run. I also don't get some of the weird online hate for him. I've never seen any actual evidence that he's a bad guy.
