Fightful has shared more details on those recent WWE releases, including what went wrong with Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux. The former held the NXT Championship and was one of that brand's hottest acts alongside Scarlett who quickly established herself as one of the best valets/managers working in WWE today.
Shortly before Kross' RAW debut, both he and Scarlett worked separate dark matches. Apparently, there were once plans to use her on either that show or SmackDown as a singles star, but for whatever reason, she ended up being sidelined (even after people backstage pushed for her to be paired with Kross again).
Yes, it seems Vince McMahon didn't see the value in putting the real-life couple together on WWE television, so if that doesn't prove he's out of touch...well, we don't know what to tell you!
A re-debut for Kross was being planned after he was booked to lose to Jeff Hardy during his first match on RAW and then put in a red gladiator's costume, but that obviously never came to pass. There are rumblings Kross might have backstage heat due to his unhappiness with the way he was being used, but no one can really blame him for that.
Letting Kross and Scarlett slip through his fingers could prove to be one of Vince's biggest mistakes, as something tells us they'll end up being huge draws wherever they end up.
We're guessing they'll end up being "All Elite."
