Former WWE stars Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux have addressed the possibility of them signing with AEW, following previous rumors and speculation.

Kross and Bordeaux departed WWE in August 2025, after their contracts expired and they were unable to come to terms on new deals.

With there being some speculation that the duo could end up in AEW, Kross and Scarlett have now commented on what it would take for them to join Tony Khan’s promotion.

When asked about potentially signing with AEW by D-Von Dudley, the former “Karrion Kross” and “Scarlett” said:

Scarlett: “I would say, if the creative was right, maybe. There would have to be a plan, like a proper long-term storyline plan.”

Kross: “We want to be, wherever we go, whether it’s an independent or it’s a televised company, we want to be out there performing at our best. We don’t want to show up, collect a paycheck and just leave.

“We’re making an excellent living, we’re in a very unique situation, it doesn’t always work out this way for everybody independently. We’re in an excellent situation where we’re able to work all over the world.

“To put it as plainly as possible, it’s not about clearing a particular amount of money, it’s about the purpose of the performance. No matter what anyone’s preconceived notion is about pro-wrestling, this s**t hurts and it does take time off your life, and we’re very well aware of that.

“We make that commitment knowing that. If somebody is looking to pay us a bunch of money to do a short match that doesn’t mean anything… We’re not interested. We want to do meaningful performances with purpose, and have fun.”
