The former NXT Champion Karrion Kross and his fiancee Scarlett Bordeaux were among the 18 superstars released by WWE on November 4th. It was big shocking for the fans as everyone thought that he would be the future World Champion in WWE.
In the recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that higher ups weren’t pleased with Kross current presona and decided him to take off from the WWE TV.
“He had been quietly taken off TV, whatever it was a week or two ago. After the last time we saw him on TV, Vince McMahon made the call that we’re gonna take him off TV, you know where he’s doing that Demolition helmet deal that was stupid,” Meltzer added.

Meltzer further stated that higher ups wanted him to take off and give a new look and character like Keith Lee but surprisingly they released him from the company.
“He said this isn’t working, we need to take him off TV, we need to take him off, same with Keith Lee, we need to take him off and give him a new look. That was why I was surprised he was cut, because they were going to bring him back with a new look,” Meltzer stated.
