Karrion Kross and Scarlett joined Corey Graves’ “After The Bell” podcast to talk about their return to WWE. Kross talked about possible ideas he would have done if WWE did not call him back:
“Here’s some breaking news. So Daniel Gracie is one of our head instructors for jiu-jitsu. He was encouraging me to relocate to Philadelphia to fight in the UFC. Then on top of that, while that was going on, I was speaking with David Feldman from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and I was on the verge of taking a three fight deal. Then on top of that, we were getting involved with television projects, movies, and stuff like that. It’s kind of funny how it all worked out because it kept getting pushed back for delays and had it not and we signed on, there’s a really good chance we may have not been able to come back when we got the call.”
Kross said he also has written a book:
“I wrote a book and it’s in the editorial process. It’s a memoir of my life and there’s obviously a lot of wrestling involved. But while I’ve had all this time to think and be away, I just wish that I had a book like this or I wish I knew somebody who could kind of talk to me about this stuff growing up as I didn’t have anybody like that. So I wrote the book with the intention to help people that are in similar positions or if you just want an entertaining read. I’m kind of terrified because I feel like I wrote it completely naked and I don’t know what people are gonna think at the end of the day, but it’s very honest. I grew up around a lot of violence and I had personal struggles that I’ve never really elaborated on publicly that I’m completely over and through now. That’s why I’m comfortable talking about them, but I think it will make for a really entertaining read if anything.”
Scarlett talking about returning to WWE:
“It was the easiest decision because we had talked about what if we get this opportunity working, this is how we’re going to do things, we’re going to stick to it, you know, we have to do things on our terms. So it’s funny when Hunter called us, he was the best boss we ever had. It was a complete no brainer. It was just like no other company has ever compared to it. So we trust him. We definitely trust him with our characters and with our storylines. So it’s just absolutely perfect.”
“The energy in the locker room has never been better. There’s this happiness again, When we walked in, we’re like, ‘Oh, this feels like the NXT locker room. It’s a fun vibe right now. Of course, TV is very fast paced and there’s a lot going on, but it’s nice to go to work and see everyone happy and having fun. So it’s just one of those things that we’re confident week by week. The shows are just going to keep getting better. The storylines are consistent. I just think that any independent wrestler, if you want to make money and be happy, this is going to be the place you want to be. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind.”
