# AEW Star Reacts To Karrion Kross WWE Departure

A current AEW star has reacted to Karrion Kross’ WWE departure after it was announced that his contract has expired.

Last night, Karrion Kross and Scarlett were removed from [WWE.com’s roster page](https://www.wwe.com/superstars), with them now being listed on the alumni section of the website.

The move comes amid reports that their contracts were set to expire, with Fightful since confirming that Kross and Scarlett’s deals have now officially expired.

[Taking to Twitter](https://x.com/dustinrhodes/status/1954605973617746137) to respond to a fan who called Kross a ‘good soldier’, AEW’s Dustin Rhodes provided support for Kross, simply saying:

*I understand the “Good Soldier ” thing all too well. Sux*

[Responding to another fan](https://x.com/dustinrhodes/status/1954608109324013861) who said they hoped Kross would join AEW alongside Dustin, Dustin praised Kross, simply saying:

*He’s a great dude.*

Kross isn’t the only WWE star whose contract expired today, as [Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis has also confirmed](https://wrestletalk.com/news/wwe-departure-ashante-thee-adonis/) that he has now left the company.

Dustin recently announced that he will undergo double knee replacement surgery following his TNT Championship loss to Kyle Fletcher.
