News Behind Karrion Kross & Scarlett's WWE Returns

Karrion Kross & Scarlett are back in WWE.

Fightful learned last week that talks with the two had picked up, though they'd claimed as of Monday when we reached out for a separate story that they'd not yet been contacted. For those asking about their MLW status, the two were never signed to MLW contracts, and despite being advertised for the CYN live tour, had not committed to those dates, either.

Triple H is a big supporter of Karrion Kross and Scarlett, and was said to have been "dismayed" by his handling on the WWE main roster last year. The duo have appeared on the company's internal roster the following Monday, positioned as the #2 heels on Smackdown behind Roman Reigns.

We're told that Kross was adamant outside of WWE that Scarlett remain a part of his presentation, to the point he passed up an AEW match with Wardlow. He didn't want his presentation moving forward to be reminiscent of the Raw run that left a bad taste in people's mouths.
