New Twist in Karrion Kross and Scarlett WWE Contract Drama as Silence Sparks Speculation

The story around Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s WWE futures just got murkier — and according to new reports, the quiet behind the scenes might be a sign that something is going down.

Fightful Select reports that while Kross and Scarlett’s current contracts were set to expire on August 10, the situation may have shifted in the last few days. As of Monday, the pair had not been offered new deals and weren’t at WWE Raw. Then, on August 7, Dave Meltzer claimed Kross had now received a contract offer — but since then, people inside WWE and close to the couple have gone silent.

“Usually when things go quiet to that degree, something is happening,” Fightful noted.

Originally, the duo was scheduled to travel to Raw this week, but those plans changed. Sources close to WWE creative said there were tentative ideas to keep Kross on TV moving forward, but wouldn’t reveal details.

Despite speculation, those who have spoken to the couple said they’ve kept their contract situation close to the vest unless asked directly. As of Monday, they were still telling people — inside and outside WWE — that no offer had been made. But they were also never told that WWE planned to let their contracts run out without renewal efforts.

The report points out that it wouldn’t make much sense for Kross and Scarlett to publicly announce when or if they’ve signed, as the leverage of letting the clock run could be useful. It was also added that while nothing is confirmed, they believe the two have either been offered new deals or will be shortly.

Interestingly, this late-in-the-game contract approach hasn’t been common in WWE since the departure of Dan Ventrelle, who had a habit of re-signing talent right before their contracts expired.

Kross and Scarlett originally signed three-year contracts in 2022, putting their expiration date right at August 10 — meaning whatever is happening now will be decided very soon.

If WWE’s goal is to keep fans talking, it’s working. Whether this is a legitimate last-minute negotiation or just another storyline twist, Kross and Scarlett’s future could be decided within days.
