Scarlett Bordeaux is no stranger to WWE. She may be paired with real-life boyfriend Karrion Kross on NXT today, but Bordeaux has appeared on WWE TV on a number of occasions in the past, albeit in a decidedly less-focused role. In late 2014 she began to make frequent appearances as one of Adam Rose’s Rosebuds, performing in the role around 15 times before the character was removed completely.

Saying that, who didn’t have a stint as a Rosebud? A cursory glance at the modern pro wrestling landscape shows just how influential Adam Rose and his psychedelic express was. Current champions Braun Strowman, Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss made fledgling NXT appearances as a part of Rose’s crew, while other WWE mainstays such as Carmella and Elias did the same. If you were in WWE developmental in 2014, chances are you danced with Rose and The Bunny.

The privilege (a loose usage of the term, admittedly) was also bestowed on non-WWE standouts Jimmy Jacobs, Simon Gotch and Sami Callihan. Scarlett Bordeaux is in fine company in the Rosebuds Hall of Fame.
