Ex-WWE Stars Shoot Down Recent Impact Rumours

Impact Wrestling just doesn't appeal to these recently-released WWE stars.

Scarlett Bordeaux definitively told fans during a K&S WrestleFest Q&A that neither she nor Karrion Kross would be interested in a return to Impact Wrestling.

The former WWE valet, who was released as part of mass "budget cuts" on 4 November, thanked a fan for asking but said "we're not going back there". Scarlett also laughed after answering the question; "we're" makes it clear that Kross is similarly uninterested in inking a deal with Impact any time soon.

Both previously worked for the promotion between 2018-2019.

Bordeaux went on to discuss her time in WWE, and said she's delighted that she's able to continue using the name Scarlett outside the promotion. Vince McMahon's company has been known to trademark certain names, but Scarlett escaped that fate.

She's free to use her ring name elsewhere, which she views as a blessing.

On Impact, Scarlett added that she didn't need to properly justify why she and Kross don't feel it's right for them post-WWE. They're content to assess any options open to them, and Kross is currently pursuing some acting roles outside the wrestling biz.

So, any Impact rumours are false.
