Over the last few months there’s been a lot of talk about Karrion Kross and his contract status with WWE. Last weekend his deal officially expired and now the former NXT Champion is officially a free agent.
During a recent appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, Karrion Kross addressed his contract negotiations with WWE, and he confirmed that a deal was offered. However, Kross also explained that he inquired about more information regarding the valuation of the contract, and the offer was eventually rescinded.
“The truth of the matter is… my contract was up last week. I never actually received a contract, like an offer, until last week. I got the offer, I wanted to know how they came to the valuation of that offer… When I inquired about that, they were unwilling to provide that information and told me I had 24 hours to agree to the offer or they were rescinding it.
The next day we talk. I ask if they have the information. They don’t. I said I can’t make an informed decision without the information and I’d like to keep the dialogue open. They rescinded the offer. That’s that’s actually where we’re at.”
Karrion Kross also revealed that no offer was made to Scarlett at the time WWE offered him a new deal. When he asked about it he was told, “After we deal with you, we’ll deal with her.”
