WWE Chairman Vince McMahon usually takes the call of the future of stars in the company. FightfulSelect.com recently reported Katrina Cortez- Katrina was brought up to the WWE main roster in late 2019 to pair with Sin Cara, however, Sin Cara outright told Fightful there were never any real plans for the duo, and it just happened to put over Andrade and Zelina. Shortly after, Sin Cara asked for his release when he was told his character was “dead” and Katrina was sent back to NXT. Eva Marie Real Reason For WWE Firing Leaks
Vince McMahon had other plans with Scarlett Bordeaux
It was noted by Fightful that the reboots of Keith “Bearcat” Lee and Karrion Kross were not their ideas. Also, WWE had looked at Scarlett as a wrestler on Raw or Smackown but she was quickly “sidelined.” There were several that pushed for Scarlett to be a part of the programming with former NXT Champion Karrion Kross, but obviously, it never came to fruition.
Almost immediately backstage rumors about of Kross getting heat within the company floated around but even then several tried to plead about the direction of his booking and character. There were plans to adjust his character yet again, but most within the company pointed to the booking as the issue, not the characters.
Mia Yim was drafted and she was one of the stars who was not used, and hadn’t wrestled at all in 2021. Fightful reported that there were several tentative plans to have her on shows before the draft, and she’d quietly changed brands multiple times. However, those plans all ended up getting nixed and never materialized. We will have to see what future holds for the released stars.
