Karrion Kross and Scarlett have made their first appearance for another company since his WWE departure a few weeks ago.
Kross and his on-screen accomplice and real-life wife Scarlett both departed WWE upon the expiration of their contracts this month.
They have since announced a number of appearances and bookings, but made their first post-WWE appearance tonight.
Tonight’s August 23 GCW Homecoming event played host to a match between Matt Cardona and Shotzi Blackheart.
During the match, some ‘druids’ came out to help Cardona but they were all taken out by Blackheart.
However, there were two more ‘druids’ who entered the ring, and instead of helping Cardona, they attacked him.
The pair of ‘druids’ then unmasked and revealed themselves to be Karrion Kross and Scarlett.
The duo have confirmed they have gone back to the names Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux, which were their names before signing with WWE in 2020.
GCW does have a certain level of affiliation with WWE, as several WWE and NXT talents have been part of the last few Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport events, with WWE President Nick Khan often attending.
Kross himself was part of the April 2025 edition of Bloodsport while he was still with WWE, where he beat JR Kratos.
