Killer Kross & Scarlett Shock GCW Crowd With Surprise Return at Homecoming: Night One

Killer Kross and Scarlett are officially back on the scene—and they chose GCW as their first stop post-WWE.

During GCW Homecoming: Night One, Matt Cardona tried to stack the deck by sending druids to assist him in his chaotic showdown. Shotzi Blackheart held her own, clearing out most of them, but the last two cloaked figures weren’t your average extras. One of them delivered a low blow to Cardona—then unmasked to reveal none other than Scarlett, standing beside a grinning Killer Kross.

With Cardona down, Kross drove him straight through a door, setting the stage for Shotzi to soar off the top rope with a crushing senton for the win.

This return marks a major shift for Kross and Scarlett, who officially parted ways with WWE on August 10th after their contracts expired and were not renewed. Kross is no stranger to the GCW ring—he’s previously competed at Bloodsport events—but this kind of theatrical return, flanked by Shotzi and destruction, sent a clear message.

GCW already saw Nick Gage return in violent fashion earlier in the night, slicing open Cardona with light tubes and handing a pizza cutter to Shotzi. Now, with Kross and Scarlett back in the fold, the brand’s deathmatch edge just got even sharper.

Fans may remember GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale previously saying, “When [Gage] was ready, Gage would always have a home at GCW.” It looks like that open-door policy now includes Kross and Scarlett too.
