Scarlett Bordeaux officially joined WWE two years ago. A few months later, her boyfriend Karrion Kross followed in her footsteps and signed with Vince McMahon's company.
The couple debuted together on NXT in May 2020. Throughout her run on NXT, Bordeaux only played the role of her boyfriend's valet and never competed inside the squared circle. Kross, on the other hand, became one of the top stars of WWE's third brand. He won the NXT Championship twice.
Kross started appearing on RAW last July. However, he continued to defend his NXT Championship on the Black and Gold Brand. Nonetheless, after losing his title to Samoa Joe at NXT TakeOver 36, Kross moved to RAW full-time.
When the former NXT Champion joined RAW, Bordeaux did not accompany him. The WWE Universe then started asking questions about her absence. Kross later addressed the issue on D-Von Dudley’s Table Talk podcast.
"This is what I can say, without being deliberately cryptic, we’re waiting for something to finish taking its course. But she is very good and she’s been training like a maniac, like she always does. You can expect to see her any time or any place," Kross said.
Happy Birthday to @TripleH! 🎉
You’ve truly changed our lives for the better. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom and believing in us! https://t.co/A8Zxrm8xGO
Despite what Kross said, Bordeaux never appeared again on WWE TV. The company announced the release of both superstars last Friday.
