I'm so proud of you. You beat Sammy. So,
0:02
remember
0:09
let's get out of here.
0:10
Stop the presses and the smoke. Scarlet
0:14
Bordeaux just torched her WWE contract
0:17
like a Valentine card gone wrong. And
0:19
trust me, you're not going to guess what
0:22
came next.
0:23
The contracts of Scarlet and her ring
0:26
partner and real life spouse Carrie and
0:30
Cross officially expired on August 10th,
0:32
2025, marking the end of their WWE
0:36
journey. But wait, if they're gone, why
0:40
does my smoke show merch still exist?
0:44
Hang tight. Both were immediately moved
0:47
to WWE'se's alumni section on the
0:50
company website. Basically, the digital
0:53
exit door swung wide open. Alumni
0:56
status. Nice. But let's be honest,
1:00
that's not where legends settle.
1:02
Onwards.
1:04
Scarlet's goodbye wasn't a cryptic
1:07
tweet. It was a heartfelt Instagram post
1:10
thanking both the locker room and the
1:12
fans. She called WWE the best
1:17
locker room I've ever been part of,
1:20
adding that fans were never just a
1:22
crowd. You've been our partners in every
1:25
fight.
1:26
Okay, tears imminent, but don't get all
1:29
sppy yet.
1:31
She didn't just wave goodbye. Scarlet
1:34
invited the world to book her, writing,
1:37
"The next chapter starts now. If you
1:39
want the smoke show on your show, let's
1:42
make it happen.
1:43
And you better believe the offers
1:45
started rolling in.
1:48
Less than an hour after her farewell,
1:50
Scarlet was already on the move, heading
1:53
to Midsummer Scream in Long Beach as a
1:56
paranormal investigator with Shotsy in
1:59
their chamber of horrors.
2:01
From WWE Ropes to haunted houses, now
2:05
that's versatility on steroids.
2:09
Meanwhile, Carer and Cross dropped a
2:12
vlog diving deep into his contract
2:14
drama, revealing he tried to renegotiate
2:17
in January, but WWE responses were
2:21
underwhelming to say the least.
2:24
Unhappy contract talks, riveting drama.
2:28
Oh, we're not nearly done. Cross
2:30
expressed frustration, not anger, but
2:34
genuine disappointment, saying the brief
2:37
negotiation talks were not real.
2:39
conversations.
2:41
Imagine showing up with flowers and they
2:43
hand you a sticky note. Ouch. He also
2:47
revealed his entrance theme. Dead silent
2:50
has disappeared from streaming
2:52
platforms. Music gone era ended. When
2:57
your walkout song vanishes faster than
3:00
free pizza in the breakroom, bold move
3:03
WWE.
3:05
The one that got away.
3:08
So, here's the kicker. Carrie and Cross
3:10
didn't want to leave. This isn't one of
3:13
those creative differences cliches where
3:16
the superstar storms out and drops a mic
3:18
on the way to the parking lot. No. Cross
3:22
straight up admitted in his vlog that
3:25
there isn't a world where he'd willingly
3:28
walk away from WWE. That's like Triple H
3:32
saying he's giving up the sledgehammer
3:34
for knitting. Unthinkable. And yet, here
3:38
we are. Back in January, Cross and
3:42
Scarlet sat down with WWE to talk about
3:45
the future. On paper, this is the moment
3:48
where dreams get extended, contracts get
3:51
signed, and champagne gets popped.
3:54
Instead, Cross says the talks were not
3:56
real conversations.
3:58
Translation: They were basically
4:01
corporate small talk. Lots of nodding,
4:04
zero commitment. You know when someone
4:07
says we'll circle back and you never
4:09
hear from them again. Yeah. That this
4:13
hit Cross hard because he's a guy who's
4:16
been riding the WWE roller coaster
4:18
before. Remember his first main roster
4:21
run with the Mad Max cosplay helmet. He
4:24
fought tooth and nail to rebuild his
4:26
brand. Came back with Scarlet, the
4:28
smoke, the entrance, the whole package.
4:30
And the fans ate it up. He wasn't
4:33
looking for the exit. He was looking for
4:35
the next chapter. Instead, WWE ghosted
4:39
harder than your high school crush after
4:41
prom. No storyline pivot, no creative
4:45
redirection, just a slow fade to black.
4:49
And for a guy who lives for the big
4:51
fight, that's brutal.
4:54
So now we've got a man who never wanted
4:56
to leave and a company that never said
4:59
stay. Sounds like the perfect recipe for
5:03
a comeback or a revenge tour. Let's talk
5:06
about the next chapter.
5:09
Free agents with fire in their eyes. And
5:12
now we arrive at the part Vince McMahon
5:15
would call the rub. Scarlet Bordeaux and
5:19
Carrion Cross are officially free
5:22
agents. That's wrestling code for we can
5:25
show up anywhere, anytime, and ruin your
5:29
favorite wrestller's day. Let's be real,
5:32
being a free agent in 2025 isn't like it
5:35
was 10 years ago. Back then, you were
5:38
either WWE or, well, basically nowhere.
5:43
But now, the world is a buffet of
5:46
opportunities. AEW, NJPW, Impact, indie
5:50
promotions that book shows in high
5:52
school gyms, but somehow stream to
5:55
thousands online, even crossover events
5:58
in completely unexpected arenas.
6:01
You think I'm joking, but wait until
6:03
they turn up at a horror convention and
6:05
a Lucha Libre card on the same weekend.
6:08
And here's the thing, Scarlet and Cross
6:11
don't just wrestle, they perform.
6:14
They're a packaged spectacle. You don't
6:18
just sign them. You sign the smoke, the
6:21
music, the mind games, the theatrical
6:24
slow walk to the ring that makes the
6:26
crowd's hair stand on end. That is
6:30
marketing gold. And every promoter with
6:33
half a brain is probably already
6:35
drafting a how much will it cost to make
6:38
them ours email. They're also not shy
6:42
about teasing moves. Scarlet's already
6:45
making herself available for bookings.
6:48
Practically daring promoters to hit her
6:50
DMs.
6:52
Cross. He's laying low for now, but when
6:55
he does strike, you can bet it'll be big
6:58
enough to break the wrestling internet
6:59
in half. AEW could make him a monster
7:03
heel. NJPW could turn him into a
7:06
nononsense strong style killer. Heck,
7:09
they could even pull a Cody Rhodess and
7:11
circle back to WWE in a year if the
7:14
money and story are right. Because in
7:16
wrestling, nothing is truly off the
7:18
table. And while some stars fade the
7:21
moment they step outside the WWE
7:24
machine, Cross and Scarlet have that
7:28
rare ability to control their own
7:30
narrative, literally and figuratively.
7:33
Their pairing is too polished, too
7:36
unique, and too fan beloved to just
7:39
disappear.
7:40
So, what's next? Will they crash an AEW
7:44
pay-per-view through a cloud of smoke?
7:47
Will they take their act to Japan and
7:49
come back with belts, trophies, and some
7:52
wild war stories? or will they become
7:56
the hottest act on the independent
7:59
scene, making every promoter wish they'd
8:02
moved faster? The only thing we know for
8:05
sure is this. They're not gone. They've
8:08
been unleashed.
8:10
And that's when the real chaos starts.
8:14
So, if WWE just let two of the most
8:16
theatrical, dangerous, and fan
8:18
hypnotizing performers walk out the
8:21
door, the real question isn't where will
8:24
they go. It's who's about to regret not
8:27
locking that door.
8:29
So there you have it. Scarlet and Cross
8:34
WWE alumni turned worldconquering free
8:38
agents. Will they haunt AEW Isles? Take
8:42
