Killer Kross and Scarlett wanted to stay with WWE, but they say they had a good feeling that things would end up the way they did.
Kross and Scarlett spoke with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast about the final months of their WWE tenure. Scarlett said they anticipated “for months†what was going to happen. She compared herself to Melisandre, or the “Red Woman†of Game of Thrones‘ fame. Scarlett says she saw their fate while doing a tarot reading, and knew “in her gut†early on that they were going to leave WWE.
“Iâ€d say we knew for months what was happening, what was going to happen,†Scarlett explained. “I have been for a long time when it comes to astrology and looking things up, and a lot of the stuff I do on the paranormal show is a bit real with the tarot cards. So, I did see that we were going to have some sort of contract dispute, but it was going to take a while. And I did feel in my gut like weâ€re going to step away since like, February.â€
Kross said that they had told very few people about that experience, but they were always trying to make things work with WWE. He told Triple H in January that they both wanted to stay, which ultimately didnâ€t happen.
Scarlett explains why WWEâ€s negotiation tactic was a red flag
Kross and Scarlett were approached separately about contract negotiations, with a WWE representative saying they would get Kross†offer sorted first. Scarlett felt like they used her as leverage against him, although she thinks they would have signed her, too. Kross said a similar situation happened when he went from NXT to RAW, and wouldnâ€t make the same mistake again.
“But all in all, it felt like a massive, massive red flag. And I did feel like it did come off a bit misogynistic,†Scarlett said. “Because originally I was hired before you, and the idea that I have no value without him, and itâ€s only determined by whether or not he signs, that came off as very misogynistic to me.â€
“I told you this a long time ago, but didnâ€t really ever publicly talk about this,†Kross added. “When I signed to go from NXT to Raw, somebody said the exact same thing to me over the phone. And I asked her, I said, ‘What do you think?†At that time, we had no reason to ever think it would be strange or go sideways, so I signed it, being told weâ€ll get to her after we get to you. I go up to Raw, then we go into like Mad Max and the Thunderdome, and sheâ€s at home. So I was like, well, Iâ€m not gonna do that again. We already saw exactly what happened with that.â€
WWE ultimately pulled Kross†contract offer after 24 hours. He and Scarlett left the company in August, and they have continued working together on the independent scene.
